Answer:
Explanation:
From the above equation, it is clear that acceleration due to gravity is more at poles and less at equator. So if a person moves from the poles to equator his weight decreases as the value of g decreases.

Answer:
The distance of the surface at the equator from the earth's core is more than the poles. We know that the force of gravity is inversely proportional to square of distance from center of gravity.
Thus the more the distance the less is the gravitational force and the less is the acceleration due to gravity.
Thus weight of the object decrease from pole towards the equator.
