Your choice of the word receive is curious. It's almost as if you equate gravity with, say, rainfall. Do the poles receive much rainfall? is a good question. Do they receive much gravity? is odd.
Although the gravitational constant varies slightly with your position on the Earth as well as your altitude, there is little detectable difference between the force of gravity at the poles compared to anywhere else on the planet. If you weigh 200 pounds in Ecuador, you'll weigh 200 pounds in Antarctica.

Why do poles receive less solar energy then the equator does?
The poles receive less solar energy then the equator does because the radiation from the sun has to pass through much more atmosphere to reach the poles than to reach the equator. During that transit, more of the energy is scattered on the path to the poles, and less reaches the ground there.
What land and water never receive the direct rays of the sun?
poles
At which location would an observer find the greatest force due to the earths gravity?
at the poles
Why gravity is not same all over the earth?
Gravity on Earth is slightly stronger at the poles than at the equator, because the diameter of the Earth at the equator is larger than the diameter through the poles. So when you stand at a pole, you're closer to the center of the Earth, and that's the distance that determines the force of gravity between you and the Earth.
What is the gravity on earth at equator and poles?
1g + or -0.7% based on 1G = 9.80665 m/s
What is the measure of gravity at poles?
At poles, gravity is maximum as distance from center is largest.
Gravity is greater at the?
poles
In which point gravity of earth is very high?
since gravity is inversly proportional to square of radius. Gravity increases with equater to poles. Gravity is high on poles and less on equator
Where the gravity is max and where minimum?
On the poles the gravity will be maximum. on the equatorial region the gravity will be minimum
Gravity is greater than what?
poles
Why do poles receive less solar energy then the equator does?
The poles receive less solar energy then the equator does because the radiation from the sun has to pass through much more atmosphere to reach the poles than to reach the equator. During that transit, more of the energy is scattered on the path to the poles, and less reaches the ground there.
What happens when you walk to the bottom of the moon?
Not much. If you walk to the bottom of the earth, not much happens there, either. Gravity is slightly higher at the poles, but it is unnoticeable.
Why are poles are formed in the north and the south?
Gravity fields.
What will be the effect on your weight if you go toward the poles?
Gravity
Why is gravity stronger at the poles?
You are closer to the center of the earth at the poles, r is smaller in g=GM/r2
Gravity is greater at the what?
Gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles. This means an object will weigh about 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.
Does gravity have a stronger pull at the eatrh poles then it does on the equator?
no, but the electromagnetic field of the earth does.
