Dear student
we know on the surface of earth, it is
g1 = GM / R^2
Say at that height h, the gravitational acceleration is g2.
So we can write, mg2 = GMm / (R+h)^2
=> g2 = GM/(R+h)^2
as altitude h increases, the value of acceleration due to gravity falls.
as depth h increases, the value of acceleration due to gravity falls.
and the order will be
g1 > g3 > g2
Hope this helps
Good Luck
