Where on earths surface is gravity the strongest?
Gravity is strongest at the Earth's poles and weakest at the equator. This is because the Earth bulges at the equator due to its rotation, creating a slightly greater distance from the center of the Earth to points on the equator, thus reducing the gravitational force experienced there.
Is Earth pear shaped?
Earth is not perfectly spherical, but rather it is slightly pear-shaped. This means that the Earth's polar radius (from the center to the North or South Pole) is slightly shorter than its equatorial radius (from the center to the equator).
Which land feature is the furthest from the center of the earth?
Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador's Andes Mountains is the furthest point on land from the Earth's center due to the bulging of the planet around the equator. This feature is measured from the center of the Earth rather than sea level, making Chimborazo's summit the highest point on Earth when measured from the Earth's center.
What is the yellow part called in earth?
The yellow part of the Earth is called the inner core. It is a solid ball of iron and nickel at the center of the Earth, surrounded by the outer core, mantle, and crust.
What is the affect of latitude n longitude of earth on gravity?
Your weight at the north or south pole would be ever so slightly greater than it is at the equator, because the Earth is slightly fatter around the equator than it is around the poles, so if you're standing on the equator, you're slightly farther from the Earth's center of mass than you are if you're standing on one of the poles. Other than that, your location on the surface of the Earth has no effect at all on the forces of gravity that attract you and the Earth toward each other.
Is it a greater distance from center of earth to the poles or center of earth to the equator?
I'm thinking center to equator
What is away from the center of the Earth?
The equator
Why does the equator have the warmest climate?
it is in the center of the earth
What is the center of a planetary body such as the Earth?
equator
What does earth axis not pass through the north pole the south pole the equator or earth center?
the equator
What is warmer near the equator than near the poles?
The equator is the center of Earth. In the center of the Earth it is very hot because of all of the under ground volcanoes.
Line that runs through the center of the earth?
equator
Is a equator a invisible line that splits earth in half?
The equator is an imaginary circular line around the entire earth, with the center of the circleat the center of the earth.Any circle that has its center at the center of the earth divides the earth's surface exactly in half.
What is the name of the imaginary line that runs around the center of the Earth?
the equator
At sea level which location would be farthest from the center of the earth?
The equator
Is the equator the center of the earth?
No the centre of the earth id made up of molten rock and magma.
Why is gravity stronger at the poles than the equator?
Gravity is stronger at the poles than the equator because of the Earth's shape. The Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator due to its rotation. This bulging at the equator causes objects to be farther away from the center of the Earth, resulting in weaker gravitational pull compared to the poles.
