How does gravity increase as we go deeper in earth?

567 views

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.

As you travel towards the center of the earth gracity actually increases until it reaches its maximum at the core mantle boundary then it decreases as you travel from there to the core

Edit. Most of the comments are incorrect in reality. Aside from this comment, there are two others that are correct. Increases then decreases
