Where does a body have least weight equator or earth centre?
A body will have the least weight at the center of the Earth. This is because at the center of the Earth, all the mass is distributed around the body equally in all directions, resulting in gravitational forces canceling each other out. At the equator, the body has slightly more weight due to the centrifugal force caused by the Earth's rotation.
Where does the centre of gravity of atmosphere of the earth lie?
It lies at the center of the Earth.
What is your weight for each planet considering the surface gravity?
Based on surface gravity, your weight on each planet would be: Mercury: 38% of your weight on Earth Venus: 91% of your weight on Earth Mars: 38% of your weight on Earth Jupiter: 236% of your weight on Earth Saturn: 113% of your weight on Earth Uranus: 92% of your weight on Earth Neptune: 113% of your weight on Earth These values are approximate and assume a similar mass and body composition.
What is your weight on Mars?
Your weight on Mars would be about 38% of your weight on Earth because Mars has a weaker gravitational pull than Earth.
What would happen to your head if it was at the center of the earth?
It, and everything inside it, would be crushed (this is, of course, if the centre of the Earth was empty, because if it wasn't, then you would be burnt to a crisp due to the immense heat fo the centre of the Earth). Your head would be crushed because gravity pulls you to the centre of the Earth, and if this is happening all over the Earth, then loads of gravity is going into one spot in the centre of the Earth. This would all push at you on all sides and subsequently crush you.
Where on the earth would the weight of body be zero why?
on the centre of the earth.
Why is the weight of a body zero at the center of the earth?
At the centre of the Earth, or any body for that matter, the mass of the Earth is centralised at the centre, At the centre of the earth there is no weight attributable to the earth's mass. But there is weight (a force) attributable to the sun's mass, neatly balanced out by the speed of the earth in its circular orbit. So the weight is mv2/r instead of mg (m= a mass placed at the centre, v=velocity in orbit, r= distance to sun). If the earth slowed to a stop, it, and everything at its centre would accelerate towards the sun. If somehow you could nail the earth down so it didn't fall in, that weight would be measureable with a spring balance. Ignoring galactic and intergalactic forces. I guess that's sophistry really.

Does weight act towards the centre of the earth?
Yes, at the center it becomes zero.
What change in weight occurs going towards the centre of the Earth?
Gravity... :D
Why does a body lose weight at the centre of the earth?
In the center of the Earth gravity is equal at every side causing you to be "weightless".
What will be the weight of an object at centre of earth if it is 10kg on surface of earth?
The weight of the object at the center of the Earth would be zero. This is because at the center of the Earth, the gravitational forces from all directions cancel each other out.
What is the definition of weight as it is used in science and technology?
Weight is the FORCE by which Earth PULL any body towards it centre of gravity.
What is the body weight in centre of the earth?
The body weight at the center of the Earth would be zero because the mass surrounding you in all directions would create a gravitational pull in every direction, effectively cancelling out any perceived weight.
What is the centre of the earth like?
The centre of the earth is very hot.
Is there any difference in weight on earth with change in position of a man?
Yes there is. Weight it is affected by distance form the centre of the earth. Because the world is not a perfect sphere, a man is further from the centre of the earth when he is nearer the equator and so lighter. He is also lighter when he is at a greater altitude.Weight is also affected by localised masses. If there is a really large lump of metal underneath the man, he will be heavier. Aquifers also affect the weight.
What lies at the centre of gravity and earth?
The Earth's Core lies at the centre.
