If you took your weight first at sea level and then on top of a very tall mountain, you would find that your weight **decreases by a small amount**.
This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on a mass, and as you move farther from the center of the Earth (like standing on top of a mountain), the gravitational force decreases slightly, resulting in a lower weight.
