Question

How and why does the acceleration due to gravity change from equatorial

region to polar region?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The radius of the equatorial region is approximately 21 km more than that at the poles. ... As we move from the equator to the poles the distance of the point on the surface of the earth from the centre of the earth decreases. Hence the acceleration due to gravity increases.
