That would have to be as close to the north or south pole as you can get

and be at Mean Sea Level at the same time.

-- Because of the Earth's oblateness, the ' R2 ' term is smallest at the poles.

-- The aggregate effect of the Earth's total mass decreases as you rise above the

surface, because of the increase in the ' R2 ' term.

-- It also decreases as you descend below the surface, because of the decrease

of the portion of the ' M1 ' term that's inside your present radius.

Note:

The Earth's spin may influence your apparent weight in different ways at various latitudes,

but has no effect on the value of M1M2/R2 , which is what you're asking about.

Where on earth is the force of gravity the lowest?

At the top of the highest mountain.The force is inversely proportional to the distance between the centers of the masses.The top of the highest mountain is the farthest you can get from the center of the earth and still remain "on earth".


Which planet has the highest gravity?

I'm quite sure that the planet with the highest gravity is indeed Earth, because even though it's not the largest, it is the densest. And gravity comes from density, not size. Also, the other planets are mainly comprised of gases, not liquids metals and rocks like the center of the earth.
