Answer:
As the distance of the pole is less than the distance of the equator from the center of the earth, the force of attraction is higher on the body at poles than at the equator. Hence the weight of a body is greater at pole than at the equator.

Answer:
It is due to variation in value of g
Explanation:
Weight of body is given by W=m g
At poles, g is 9.81 m/s² while at equator it's 9.79 m/s².
This phenomena can be found out by using formula g=GM/R²
Radius at poles is little less than radius of equator. therefore, this causes the weight of body to change.
