Answer:

correct option is -- it will decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

correct option is -- it will decrease

A space ship left earth to retrieve mars soil samples. The force of a earth's gravity would reduce on the advancing spacecraft. We experience weightlessness in space because the gravity of planet has less impact on us. The gravitational attraction of earth at space craft altitudes is only around 11 percent lower than it is on the surface of earth.
