Your choice of the word receive is curious. It's almost as if you equate gravity with, say, rainfall. Do the poles receive much rainfall? is a good question. Do they receive much gravity? is odd.

Although the gravitational constant varies slightly with your position on the Earth as well as your altitude, there is little detectable difference between the force of gravity at the poles compared to anywhere else on the planet. If you weigh 200 pounds in Ecuador, you'll weigh 200 pounds in Antarctica.

What is the measure of gravity at poles?

At poles, gravity is maximum as distance from center is largest.


Gravity is greater at the?

poles


In which point gravity of earth is very high?

since gravity is inversly proportional to square of radius. Gravity increases with equater to poles. Gravity is high on poles and less on equator


Where the gravity is max and where minimum?

On the poles the gravity will be maximum. on the equatorial region the gravity will be minimum


What happens when you walk to the bottom of the moon?

Not much. If you walk to the bottom of the earth, not much happens there, either. Gravity is slightly higher at the poles, but it is unnoticeable.


Why are poles are formed in the north and the south?

Gravity fields.


What will be the effect on your weight if you go toward the poles?

Gravity


Why is gravity stronger at the poles?

You are closer to the center of the earth at the poles, r is smaller in g=GM/r2


Does gravity have a stronger pull at the eatrh poles then it does on the equator?

no, but the electromagnetic field of the earth does.


What is the value of g at the poles of the earth?

g the acceleration due to gravity is 9.832 metres per second2 at the poles.


Why do poles receive less solar energy then the equator does?

The poles receive less solar energy then the equator does because the radiation from the sun has to pass through much more atmosphere to reach the poles than to reach the equator. During that transit, more of the energy is scattered on the path to the poles, and less reaches the ground there.


Explain Will 1 kg of sugar be more at poles or at the equator?

1 kg of sugar will weigh slightly more at the poles compared to the equator due to differences in gravity caused by the Earth's rotation. Gravity is stronger at the poles and weaker at the Equator due to the centrifugal force caused by the Earth's rotation.
