What is the affect of latitude n longitude of earth on gravity?

Your weight at the north or south pole would be ever so slightly greater than it is
at the equator, because the Earth is slightly fatter around the equator than it is
around the poles, so if you're standing on the equator, you're slightly farther from
the Earth's center of mass than you are if you're standing on one of the poles.
Other than that, your location on the surface of the Earth has no effect at all
on the forces of gravity that attract you and the Earth toward each other.
