Question

Give Scientific reasons: Why the weight of an object at the equator is less than at the

poles?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

'Centrifugal force' due to the spinning lowers your body weight by about 0.4 per cent at the equator relative to its weight at the poles.

The Earth's spin also causes the planet to bulge, so that at the equator you're about 21km further from the Earth's centre of gravity and so weigh around 0.1 per cent less.

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

Answer: 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.
