First, there is the variation of gravity with latitude that you alluded to: you weigh about 0.5% more at the poles than on the equator. ... Second, gravity does indeed change with altitude. The gravitational force above the Earth's surface is proportional to 1/R2, where R is your distance from the center of the Earth.

Answer:
Hey mate!!!
Explanation:
Variation of 'g' due to shape of the earthVariation of acceleration due to gravity. Thus, the acceleration due to gravity at a place is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the point from the centre of the earth. ... Hence acceleration due to gravity is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator.
Hope it helps!!
