Gravity doesn't become zero at equator, its value is roughly the same all over the earths surface.

What the difference between mass and weight and how they pertain to gravity?

Mass is the quantitiy of matter. But weight is the force of pull on the mass due to gravity. So mass is invariant where as weight depends on the gravity. If acceleration due to gravity is zero, then weight too becomes zero. So in free space mass exists but weight vanishes.

What is the name of zero degree latitude?

The Equator is the name of the zero degree latitude line. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.


At what latitude does the equator lie?

The equator is an imaginary line equidistant from the poles, and is the starting point or 0° in latitude.


What changes occur to gravity as you go further South in the Southern Hemisphere?

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.
