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.

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 =)


What is the gravity percentage on Mars?

Martian gravity is only 38% of the Earth's gravity.


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.


What has more gravity the equator or north pole?

The North pole due to centrifugal force and its effects at the 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.


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.


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.


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


What changes occur to gravity as you go further South in the Southern Hemisphere?

As you move from a pole toward the Equator the Earth's spin will act against the force of gravity, so that the net gravity will fell less as you approach the Equator. As you move away from the equator towards a pole (as in moving south, when in southern hemisphere), the spin effect becomes less, so the feel of gravity will increase. The amount of change is slight. Also, the equator is a little farther away from the center of mass than the pole, making the gravitational pull at the equator a little less, as well.
