If a body is at a height of 'h' from the surface, the acceleration due to gravity is given by 

g1=g12hR

If a body is at a depth of 'd' from the surface, the acceleration due to gravity is given by 

g11=g1dR

As 'h' and 'd' increases the value of acceleration due to gravity decreases.

Acceleration due to earth’s gravity is same at a height  ‘h’ and depth ‘d’ from earth’s surface if d=2h.
