Dear Student,
◆ Answer -
The value of acceleration due to gravity is least at the equator of the earth.
● Factors that make gravitational acceleration least at equator and most at poles are -
- Equatorial radius of earth is maximum while that at poles is minimum.
- Latitude at equator is zero as compared to 90° at the poles.
- Centrifugal force cancel out gravity more at equator than the poles.
