Answer 1

when a body is taken from poles to equator on the earth, its weight decrease
hope this help u

Answer 2

When a body taken from poles to the equator on the earth, its weight decreases.  

Explanation:

Weight of a body can be defined as the magnitude of gravitational forces between the object and Earth or the force with which an object is attracted towards the Earth’s centre. Further, the spinning of Earth, centrifugal force, and the sphenoid shape of Earth also cause the weight of a body to decrease as it moves from the poles towards the equator. On the Earth’s surface, the weight of a body at equator is equal to 9.764 m.s2 times the mass of the body compared to 9.863 m/s2 times the mass of the body at the poles. However, this weight difference of a body when at poles or equator is only marginal.
