Hear me out, gravity pulls us towards itself. It is determined by the magnitude of mass of that object. As we go deeper in earth, the amount of mass ‘under’ us decreases and so doesn’t the gravity also decrease? Have been thinking about it since I was 12, I am 15 now 🙂
Edit : It wouldn’t be right to thank just one of you by replying as I have seen some other people do but thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate it.

Umm. It actually doesn’t increase as you go below the surface. It decreases. The mass of the earth above you is pulling you in the opposite direction (up). There is additional reduction as mass density gets shifted to both sides ans cancels out. Once you get to the center of the earth, gravitation acceleration in all direction cancels out. (You could float in the middle of the earth.)
Are you sure you aren’t thinking about pressure? Cause that will increase.
