The length of the day changes more from Summer to Winter
The numerical value of the latitude increases
... and your weight actually decreases slightly (close to the equator there is a little bit of centripetal force trying to fling you off the surface but gravity is much stronger. Also the earth is not a perfect sphere - it's an oblate spheroid so you are closer to the center of mass at the poles than at the equator and gravity is based on the distance between your center of mass and that of the Earth. Your mass doesn't change, just your weight. Gravity near the equator is about 9.782 m/s². Gravity at the North Pole is about 9.832 m/s². You would weigh about 0.5% more at the North Pole than at the equator.

If you wanted to enjoy longer periods of daylight in the summertime would you move closer to the equator or farther away from it?
You would move farther away from the equator because of the tilt of Earth's axis.

Why does Canada get as cold as it does?
Because it is farther away from the equator as for example, South America.
Why is Aberdeen colder than Plymouth?
Aberdeen is colder than Plymouth because Aberdeen is farther away from the equator then Plymouth, so the heat waves are smaller and less powerful.

Neither, both are the same distance from the Equator.
Why are the weather climes different in Canada?
cuz there farther away from the equator so its colder there.
Why is alaska colder than georgia?
Farther away from equator, closer to pole, higher latitude.
Why do an object weight less at the equator then at the poles?
less gravity pull farther away from central pole
Generally the farther away from the Equator one travels in Africa the?
The length of daylight becomes more extreme
