Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As you travel away from the Earth’s surface, your mass stays the same but your weight reduces as gravitational pull decreases. For example, an astronaut orbiting the Earth and floating weightlessly in the cabin still has the same mass.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, we could conclude that, mass of a body doesn’t change from place to place but weight does. ∴ Weight of a body changes from place to place but its mass remains constant.
Detailed explanation-3: -As mass is independent of g, so it will not change from place to place.
Detailed explanation-4: -Solution-The mass of the body is constant and does not change with the position or place on Earth.
