How does the earth rotation affect the measurement of the weight of an object at the equator?

Due to the centrifugal force caused by Earth's rotation opposing gravity for objects on the equator, objects there weigh about 0.5% less than they do on the poles. So an object that weighs 200 N at the poles weighs about 199 N on the equator.


Is the weight of a person or a subject less than or greater than the poles of the equator?

greater


Is the weight of a person or object much less at the poles than at the equator?

much less


Why Will a man weigh more at the North Pole than he weighs at the equator?

Because the earth is not a perfect sphere and bulges slightly at the equator you are further from the centre of the earth and you would weigh very slightly less at the equator than at the poles.


How many degrees latitude is the equator from the poles?

The equator is 90 degrees of latitude from both poles.


Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?

On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.


Do currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?

Is there more rainfall near the equator or near the poles?

Near the Equator. It doesn't rain at the poles, and snowfall is almost non-existent at the South Pole.


What is halfway between two poles?

the Equator


What is one reason why it is colder at the poles and warmer at the equator?

The angle at which solar radiation hits the Earth is more direct at the equator, leading to more concentrated heat and warmer temperatures. In contrast, at the poles, sunlight strikes at a shallower angle, spreading the solar energy over a larger area and resulting in colder temperatures.


Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?

The oceans are colder at the poles compared to the equator. Near the poles, polar regions experience colder temperatures and often have sea ice present, while the equator receives direct sunlight and is warmer, leading to higher ocean temperatures.


Where is equator?

The equator is on the 0 degree latitude that is between the north and south poles. So obviously it is between the poles.
