On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
What is one reason why it is colder at the poles and warmer at the equator?
sun hits equator directly and not the poles
How does the earth rotation affect the measurement of the weight of an object at the equator?
Due to the centrifugal force caused by Earth's rotation opposing gravity for objects on the equator, objects there weigh about 0.5% less than they do on the poles. So an object that weighs 200 N at the poles weighs about 199 N on the equator.
