A pound of lead weighs the same as a pound of feathers even though the lead is more dense. They both have the same mass in the specified quantitys. In other words, You, mass 1 is attracted to the earth mass2 as a product of your masses.  M1*M2/d2   where d is the distance between the two masses.  The gravitational effect decreases inversly proportanal to the square of the distance between the two mases.  In other words, gravity is increasing because of an increase in mass... mainly people are more massive.....<


Excellent contribution. May I ad that you forgot to mention the influence of the hole in the ozon layer at the gravitational effect. ;o)
