We know that weight that nothing but the force by which earth attracts us.
That is, Weight = mg
According to universal law of gravitation,
F = GMm/R2
Where G is universal constant
M is the mass of first object
m is the mass of second object
And, R is the radius
As we can see that Radius and force is inversely proportional to each other.
The radius is however less at the equator than at the poles. It is the reason why our weight is more when measured at equator than at poles.
Hope this helps you!:)
