Explain and yes it is a weird question I cannot answer. This should relate to physics.

In theory no but in practice yes. This is because whatever equipment you use to weigh it will also be affected by the different gravitational pull of the earth. All weight is relative to the proximity of the epicenter of the object creating the gravitational pull so in theory the further away from earth's centre that you are the less the pull. However normal measurement which would be at sea level will differ little even from the top of Mount Everest. The diameter of the earth is 7929 miles at the equator and 7900 miles at the poles. Mt Everest is around 29,028 feet high or just over 5 miles from sea level so the difference in pull would be less than 1 gramme.

Is this like that trick question "what weighs more a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers"?
And the same how?
assuming your talking about weight I imagine it should stay the same.
oh and tell your teacher that the phrasing of the question sucks.

no. AT sea level the quantity will be less and at high land it will be more.
