Is the pull of the Earth's gravity stronger in Death Valley, or on top of Mt. Everest?

What do you weigh at the center of the earth? Zero, because the mass of the earth is pulling you equally in every direction.\n\nYour weight is greatest at sea level. Of course your weight decreases as you go to Mt. Everest, because you are now at a greater distance from the center. \n\nBut as you go down, your weight decreases for a different reason. Now there is mass of the earth above you pulling on you in an upward direction. That is why you weigh zero by the time you get to the center. \n\nIf you are on the surface of the earth or above, the earth's gravity acts as though it is concentrated at a point at the center of the earth. When you are INSIDE the earth, as in Death Valley, earth's gravity no longer acts that way.

The earth has mass, weight depends on gravitic pull.\n\nEarth's Weight (Mass): 5.972 sextillion (1,000 trillion) metric tons. That's 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons

It is a force that pulls you to the earth.

If you define up as the direction towards the sky, and down as the direction a ball will fall when dropped, then there is no difference when you stand on the north pole, south pole or anywhere in between.\n\nThe Earth is spherical so Earth's gravity pulls in the same relative direction no matter where you are, down towards the center of the planet, so that makes down always towards your feet.\n\nAnd also since the Earth is spherical the sky will always be above your head, up. \n\nSo there is no difference in upside down or right-side up based on where you are on the Earth.

Taking into concept the GRAVITY of the situation and the GRAVITY of the question I would have to say with GRAVITY that the force pulling the water in towards the earth is GRAVITY!

If earth's gravity is 1, Jupiter's gravitational pull is 2.64 times that of earth, So the fall would be much faster. The gravitational pull on Jupiter is over 2 and a half times stronger than Earth's. Imagine a roller coaster falling twice as fast!\n  \nThe gravitational pull of Mercury is .38 times that of earth. \nOn Mercury the gravity is so small that the fall would have to be about three times as long to get the same speed as on Earth.

No, the opposite. A person is lighter at the equator because of the centrifugal force generated by the Earth's rotation.

If you disregard air resistance, both land at the same time.\n\nThe Earth's gravitational pull affects everything equally.

Gravity is the force that holds everything down. Gravity also affects different people depending on their body mass. It you are taller, you have a greater gravitational pull on you which makes you weigh more.  The force of gravity is strongest when it is closest to the core of the Earth. The closest that we can get to the core of the Earth is sea level. So you would weigh more at sea level than you would on a top of the mountain. You would still have the same body mass, but just a different body weight. Mass is how much matter is in something, and weight is the measure of the gravitational pull on you. So that is how you can weigh a lot if you are taller. You're not fat, you just have a strong gravitational pull.

Plane upwards force > then Earth gravitational pull + mass of the plane+how fare it want to be escape.

Because your question is specifically about gravity, I will ignore the temperature of the core. The thing that is important to realize is that gravity is an attractive force. Although it's a bit complicated, we can answer your question by considering gravity an attraction between two atoms.\n\nThe Earth pulls us down as if there were a large gravitational pull coming from the center of the planet, but this is not actually the case. The pull is actually coming from each atom of the Earth independently. It's like if you had two friends who each had a rope attached to your belt buckle. If both are standing in front of you and pull hard, you'll feel a pull that is twice as hard as each alone. If one is standing a bit to the right and the other is standing a bit to the left, and they both pull towards themselves (and they pull just as hard as each other), you will be pulled straight forward.\n\nIn the center of the Earth, it would be like you had lots of friends each with a rope attached to your belt buckle, and they were standing all around you in a circle. If they all pull, they will all cancel each other out -- you won't move at all! You wouldn't even feel it.\n\nSo, to answer your question, in the center of the Earth you would feel pretty much the same as if you were in space -- weightless.

i'm pretty sure that it's either 3 times greater or 9 times greater coz the gravity on mars is more than that of earth.\nbut i cant decide which one of them is the right one.

Gravity exerts a slightly less force at higher altitudes, even though it is almost non-existent.  If you were to weigh yourself at sea level and then again on top of Mt. Everest, you would weigh less on top of the mountain.  (Again, very, very, very little change).

each and every material is pulled towards the centre of the earth due to gravitational force.  since the object itself is placed at a depth equal to the radius of the earth, which means it is placed at the centre of the earth, it would not be pulled towards any point and hence the gravity at that point is zero.  when gravity is zero, naturally the weight is also zero.  but remember, there won't be any change in the mass of the body.

Higher elevation is, obviously, higher than lower. It is more above sea level. The higher the elevation the more weather you have (i.e. snow)

No.  In fact, gravity is not even the same everywhere on earth now, because earth is not a perfect sphere of uniform density.  Local variations in the earth's mass and topography produce local differences in gravity (so you might expect to weigh slightly differently atop Mount Whitney than you would at the bottom of Death Valley).  Also, the earth's gravitational field has not been constant over time due to changes and redistributions of the earth's mass and shape.  The polar ice caps have pushed down the earth beneath them, flattening the poles compared with a perfect sphere.  Even the tides alter the earth's shape and mass distribution on a daily basis.  To the extent that the earth has accumulated meteorites and particles from space, its total mass has also changed over time.  Since gravity is the attraction between two masses and a function of their relative distances, things which change the masses and their respective distances will result in corresponding changes in the measurement of gravity.
