Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
Is centrifugal force is more at equator than poles?
Yes, there is more centrifugal force near the equator than at the poles of the earth.
Jupiter's furious rate of spin causes what to happen?
Jupiter's rapid rotation rate causes its equator to bulge out and its poles to be flattened. It looks a bit like a squashed ball; the planet is seven percent larger at the equator than at the poles.
Why is the weight of an object is less at the equator than at the poles?
The weight of an object is slightly less at the equator than at the poles because of the earth's tilt on its axis.
Why is the speed of earths rotation different at the equator than it is at the poles?
Distance equals rate multiplied by time. A point on the equator will travel more distance during one revolution than a corresponding point on the Arctic Circle. Since the elapsed time is the same, the point on the equator must be going at a faster rate.
Why is the circumference around the equator larger than that around the poles?
It is like a ball - orb shaped. There must be a beginning and an end or the Earth would go on for infinity.
What part of the earth bulges?
The equator has a slightly larger circumference than the north south measurement.
Why are larger mammals found nearer the poles than the equator?
cause they want to got a problem
What does the difference between the Earth's polar circumference and the Earth's equatorial circumference tell you about the Earth's shape?
That it's an oblate spheroid not a true sphere.
Is the atmosphere thinner at the poles than at the equator?
yes the ozone layer is thinner at the poles then the equator
Is there any difference between the value of g at the equator and the poles?
it is greater at poles than equator

Is centrifugal force is more at equator than poles?
Yes, there is more centrifugal force near the equator than at the poles of the earth.
Does the sun rotate faster than the equator?
Than the equator of what? The sun's equator rotates faster than it's poles (about 25 [Earth] days vrs about 40 near the poles).
Why are average temperatures higher at the equator than near the poles?
The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles
