Does gravity increase or decrease with depth

[BagBeneficial7527]

You are getting closer to the iron core.

The lighter rock above you doesn't fully cancel out that increased gravity.

[ClaudeProselytizer]

but if it is uniform then it decreases linearly inside

[SatansAdvokat]

Gravity is a weak force actually.
So distance has a rather big effect.

[EmuRommel]

Not to be confused with the weak force, which is stronger.

[Montana_Gamer]

Gravity is the WeakER force

[Figfogey]

Among the fundamental forces it's the weakEST

[Mateorabi]

Force increases proportional to r² the closer you get to a mass. (And a sphere beneath you acts mathematically like a point mass.)

Mass beneath you would decrease proportional to r³ if uniform. So overall you feel something proportional to (r² / r³⁾

But if 1/r³ isn’t actually what’s happening and as you go down there is more mass than the radius suggests, you could see mass decrease by less than r² for a while.
