Want to lose weight? Go to India

You will be about 1% lighter in India than here in the states.
Did you know the gravity on the surface of the earth varies?!? I sure didn't.

The force of gravity on your body decrease as you go farther and farther away from the earth to x^2. You know the acceleration of gravity on our bodies averages around 9.81 m/s^2? You can calculate the gravity in india with this equation, but there are many other effects that throw this calculation off such as the rotation of the earth, etc. 
g'=G(mE/r^2)
G = gravitational constant 6.67x10^-11 Nx(m^2/kg^2)
mE = mass of earth 5.98x10624 kg
r = distance away from the core of the earth, etc.
g' = new gravitational acceleration
P.S. You know everyone is gravitational attracted to each other right? It was discovered by Henry Cavendish in 1798.
P.P.S. I thought this might interest you... HEHE
