Answer:

His weight increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The weight of the body is the gravitational force acting on the body at that location.
  • The gravitational force is defined as the product of mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity.

W = m x g

  • The acceleration due to gravity of earth is high at the surface and decreases with respect to the height from the surface.
  • Hence, a man in the higher altitude regions experience lower weight that in the the lower altitude regions.
