Did you ask this because you think that during the day, the gravitational pull of the sun can decrease your weight? If this were true, your statement would be true .

Then that's the answer. At midnight, the sun would be farther away from the earth than it was at noon. But, wait. What about the moon's pull? Though the moon is of lesser mass, it is far closer to the earth than the sun, right? So won't the moon's pull decrease our weight during the night? [7]
