    Weight of the body decreases with increase in distance from the Earth because weight is inversely proportional to distance from the Earth which means Weight of the body decreases with increase in distance from the Earth and vice versa. Also Weight is "gravitational force exerted on the body" so as the distance from the Earth increases, the "gravitational force" decreases.

    because as the distance increases the gravitational force decreases so the weight of a body decreases
