A question about gravity
Is it possible to determine the percentage of the gravitational force at a specified distance using only the geometry of the planet?
Example: The ISS at ~420km altitude "weighs" about 90% of what it would on the Earth's surface.
Is there an equation using only geometrical values that would give you this info?
