how does the acceleration due to the gravity vary from place to place on the surface of earth.
Answers
Answer:
It varies depending upon your distance from the center of Earth.
Earth is not exactly spherical, but is Oblate Spheroid. It is slightly bulging out at Equatorial regions and slightly flat at Polar regions. Hence, you should experience slightly greater gravity at north/south poles than at the equator.
It also depends upon masses of the two bodies. As mass of Earth is constant, it depends upon your mass. If mass of your body is more, you will experience a stronger gravity
It depends upon your distance from some mass. For example, if you are near to a planet/star, the gravity experienced by you will be greater than if you’re not in the vicinity of a planet/star.
It also depends on your mass. If you have a greater mass, you will experience more gravity.
