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.
