Does then earth get fatter at the equator?
No, the Earth does not get fatter at the equator. The Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. This bulge occurs due to the Earth's rotation, which causes a centrifugal force that pushes outward at the equator, resulting in the bulging shape. However, the overall mass of the Earth remains constant regardless of its shape.
