Explanation:

The weight of an object at the Earth's South Pole is slightly more than its weight at the Equator because the polar radius of the Earth is slightly less than the equatorial radius. ... Though the mass of an object remains constant, its weight varies according to its location.

Answer 2

The weight of an object is less at the equator than at the poles because of the distance of the objects from the centre of the Earth.

• We know that the Earth does not has a perfect spherical shape, it is bulged out at the equators.
• Thus the distance of the objects that are placed at the equator would be more from the centres as compared to the ones that are kept at the poles.
• We know that gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance therefore, the gravitational force (weight) of the object is less at the equators than the poles.
