The value of ‘g’, i.e., acceleration due to gravity does not remain the same on all places of the surface of the earth. It varies!
To be precise, it is more at poles and less at equator.
It can be easily made out that the value of ‘g’ varies on the basis of altitude.

Answer:
No, the value of g is different at different places on the surface of earth. ... Due to which the radius of the earth is smaller at poles and is larger at equator. Since g is directly proportional to 1/R2. therefore the acceleration due to gravity is smaller at equator than that at poles.
