You weigh less. There are two major reasons for this:You are further from the center of mass of the EarthInertia (commonly called centripetal force which is fictitious and an illusion) is greatest at the equator and lightens you somewhat.
The earth is not a perfect sphere. The spin of the earth causes it to buldge out at the equator, which means the equator is further from the center of the earth then the poles are. The further an object is from the center of mass of another object, the less effect the gravity of those objects will have on each other. So at the equator, an object is being effected less by the gravity of the earth then it is at the poles.
Because the earth is round, so as you get further away from the centre circumference gets less.
The animals and plants that grow in dry areas have less growth at low population density. A good example is the cactus. This is because they need to utilize the little available resources.
6th Graders QuestionsSimple Answer: The areas near the equator heat up more than other regions because Sun's rays strike Earth at a higher angle near the equator than the North Pole, South Pole, and other more regions.By: Rocio Rodriguez, 6th grader.
The further south or north from the equator, the shallower the angle of the sun's rays hitting the earth's surface. This means that the rays travel through the atmosphere further and so have time to cool. The sun's rays hit the equator dead on, concentrated, but they hit the North and South pole at an angle, so the heat is spread out over a larger area.
Because they are further from the equator and therefore get less sunlight.
With the exception of Alaska, it is closer to the North Pole and further from the equator than any of the other states.^^ also, canda's latitudes mean that it receives less direct sunlight then we would^^^^ basically its further away from the equator.Canada is north of the U.S. where it does not get the sunshine and heat that more southern areas get.

Because the earth is not a perfect sphere and bulges slightly at the equator you are further from the centre of the earth and you would weigh very slightly less at the equator than at the poles.
Because the earth is round, so as you get further away from the centre circumference gets less.
The further down, the less sunlight is able to penetrate into the darkness.
where it is more warm and some times less montaniously.
With out knowing further knowledge about the rock it is unable to determine the exact density. However, since the rock floats, presumably in water, the density must be less then 1.00g/L.
It would get colder and less windy because weather is a result of temperature difference in the equator and poles. If the entire planet is colder then there is less temperature difference.
The light at the equator hits the earth perpendicular to the surface to the earth. The further you are from the equator, the light comes in at an angle closer and closer to parallel. The closer to parallel the light comes in at, the more of it is reflected, so it receives less energy than the perpendicular light at the equator.
