Note the flight time, the less dense air makes for less velocity  loss, less velocity loss makes for shorter flight time, shorter flight time means gravity pulls the bullet down over a shorter period therefore less drop over a given distance.

The station pressure at 10k is 20.58 in/hg, 29.92 in/hg at sea level all other atmospherics are unchanged in the above.
Which doesn't show anything about how Litz handles gravity.
The difference is inconsiquential and too little to worry about. A 0.1% change is not worth worrying about, maybe an inch on 600" drop

The further one goes from the surface of the earth, the less the effect of gravity but at terrestrial altitudes the effect on acceleration due to gravity is negligable.

The effect of the reduced the air resistance on a projectle however, is not.

I'm a geologist, so I actually know something about this.

There is a tiny bit less gravitational attraction at altitude. More importantly, there is some difference in the gravitational constant from place to place, independent of altitude, having to do with the density of the country rock and what is happening with tectonic plate/plates beneath your location.

In other words, there is very, very little (read: almost nil) difference between shooting at altitude due to gravitational effects over shooting at sea level. I suspect the reduced air pressure is far more influential than the reduced gravity.

Relative to what?
The Earth spins on an axis.  This axial rotation relative to the Sun is what creates the day and night seasons.

A side note is that the Sun's gravity attracts objects on the Earth.  So during the "day", most notably when the Sun is directly overhead, everything on the surface of the Earth is pulled towards the Sun.  We call this direction "up".  Ever shoot at a distant target and not hit it?  Have no idea where the shot went?  Yep, that's right, it's on it's way to the Sun.

This little-known fact is great news for dieters.  Simply weighing onesself in the middle of the day can take several pounds off.

Isn't gravity great?  People don't think it be like it be but it do.

but less dense air and other factors. They fall at the same rate yes and they don't "rise" if shot horizontal. However, if a bullet has thinner and other factors it will have a "flatter" trajectory.

if this isn't a parody thread, the Hornady 4dof ballistic calculator takes into account altitude

https://www.hornady.com/team-hornady/ballistic-calculators/#
Because of air density.

To calculate trajectory, you need to know elevation and temperature. On a hot, dry day in AZ, a bullet will hit higher than on a cold day. Density altitude is a real thing, and if you fly a small plane, you know all about it.  Thin air vs thick air.
But if it’s raining it lubricates the bullet, reducing the coefficient of friction, and it accelerates.
Does higher humidity increase or decrease air density?
Increase because if it was all the way humid you’d be underwater.

Yes, in Basic Training. The stupid sergeant drew a similar diagram on the blackboard to illustrate 'bullet rise' with an angle break at the muzzle. Even at the age of 20 and never having fired a real gun, I knew better than that. And they wonder why soldiers generally can't hit shit. As already stated, the bullet is always falling from the centerline of the bore extended except in absolute vertical shooting where it theoretically tracks the bore centerline all the way up and all the way down.
Shooting in mountainous country, your shot will be many times more affected by the angle of the bore to the horizontal than by any other factor. Shooting up and down hills is an art that requires study and practice. There might be ballistic charts for this in certain hunting rifle calibers but essentially you can miss by a mile if you don't have a pretty good idea of what you're doing.

I just know that after all the holidays I’m going to want to lose weight. In the past I’ve never been as successful as I’d like so thanks to you & this thread I now know exactly how to proceed.

I’m going to start the ‘diet’ at the seafood buffet at The Shepherd on Clearwater Beach FL, then get my stating weight.  I’ll then eat my way towards Pikes Peak Co where I’ll get my finish weight.

Quick snack after & then look forward to a year knowing I’ve lost weight!

Newton's law of universal gravitation says otherwise. It is *assumed* constant at or near the earth's surface, though reality differs slightly from this assumption. Elevation does make a slight difference.

Astronauts where?  An astronaut on earth experiences 100% of the gravity that we do on earth.  An astronaut on the moon experiences about 17% of what we do.  An astronaut in the International Space Station experiences about 90% of our gravity.  If we ever land on Mars, it will be about 38% of earth's gravity.

Because the bullet's path will be some form of arc, it will intersect the line of sight on it's way to it's highest point, and again wherever it is zeroed.  If zeroed at 200 yards, it will be below the line of sight at the muzzle because of the scope's height over the bore, then it will intersect the line of sight around 25-50 yards, then it will be an inch or two high at 100 yards, and strike the line of sight at 200 yards (roughly).
