we know g equalls GM/R*R. Therefore g is inversly proportional to R spuare. Where R is radius of the planet. The R at the equator is the greatest. Hence the value of g is min at the equator. The value if g increases from the equator to the poles.

The name given to 0 degrees latitude?
The 0 degrees latitude line is called the equator.
What is the specific gravity for aluminum?
Aluminum has no specific gravity, at least by the current definition of gravity.
How are gravity and weight related?
weight is the effect caused by gravity. if gravity increases, so does your weight!
What path will air take at the equator around the hadley convection cell?
The air around the equator is caught in the doldrums and the trade winds. The air closest to the equator flows upward and westerly until it reaches the border of the prevailing westerlies when it heads back toward the equator again.
What 4 forces act from a distance?
Gravity, magnetism, and electrostatic.
What is the gravity percentage on Mars?
Martian gravity is only 38% of the Earth's gravity.
Where is gravity strongest equator or north pole?
Force of gravity is proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Only considering the force of gravity, it is larger at the equator. If you measure the weight of an object, however, countering gravity is the centripetal force of rotation, which will "subtract" from the force of gravity at the equator.
Why gravity becomes zero at equator?
Gravity doesn't become zero at equator, its value is roughly the same all over the earths surface.
Does Earth's gravity change as you get closer to the equator?
no =)
Why would an object way less at the equator than at the poles?
Not for sure but it seems like there would be more gravity at the equator than at the poles. The earth rotates and creates a centrifugal acceleration at the equator the counters the force of gravity. acceleration due to gravity =GM/R2 acceleration due to rotation =V2/R So gravity at the equator is GM/R2 - V2/R
Where is the strength of gravitatioal force in the poles or equator?
The bulging Earth has more surface "gravity" at its equator.
Where is more potential energy at pole or at equator?
The potentional energy is larger at the equator thanks to the moon:s gravity.
What has more gravity the equator or north pole?
The North pole due to centrifugal force and its effects at the equator
Gravity is greater at the what?
Gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles. This means an object will weigh about 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.
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.
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 is acceleration due to gravity greater?
It is greater at poles than at equator.
