Best Answer

As you move from a pole toward the Equator the Earth's spin will act against the force of gravity, so that the net gravity will fell less as you approach the Equator. As you move away from the equator towards a pole (as in moving south, when in Southern Hemisphere), the spin effect becomes less, so the feel of gravity will increase. The amount of change is slight. Also, the equator is a little farther away from the center of mass than the pole, making the gravitational pull at the equator a little less, as well.

What happens to gravity as you move further south in the Southern hemisphere?

Nothing happens to gravity. It remains the same as it is everywhere else on earth.


Why would a clock change and run backward?

It would depend on which hemisphere the clock is located in. If it is located in the southern hemisphere, it maybe because of the counterclockwise movement of gravity in that part of the world.


Why don't people in the southern hemisphere fall off?

Gravity holds them to the Earth. They feel no different than those standing in Northern areas.


An Ocean a with current flow counterclockwise?

Oceans in the southern hemisphere flow counter clockwise. This is hugely due to the Coriolis effect. Gravity also plays a roll in this.


Why can't you feel the earth's movement?

because the earth moves steady and slowly so slow we cant feel it

Why is a internal combustion engine tuned in the northern hemisphere suffer a drop in performance when used in the southern hemisphere?

It is a bit like carburetor adjustment for higher altitudes like Denver ( Mile high) the Southern Hemisphere is below the Equator and Coriolis belt and has the seasonal inversion well known to geography students but to this writer does not make sense- but its a matter of gravity- and centrifugal force- and could effect auto performance.

What way does water flow in a toilet bowl and why?

It depends on which hemisphere you live in... If you live in the northern hemisphere of the world the water will flow clockwise. If you live in the southern hemisphere it goes counterclockwise. I'm not exactly sure about why... But I do know it has to do with the earths gravitational pull and the fact that the earth is spinning on an axis.
