Correct Answer: increase in altitude from the surface of the planet


Solution : The correct option is to increase in altitude from the surface of the planet.

The rate at which the velocity of a body falling freely toward the earth increases is known as the acceleration caused by the earth's gravity. g stands for it. With increasing altitude above the surface of the earth, the value of the acceleration caused by gravity decreases.
