Answer:
Weight is equal to product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.
Acceleration due to gravity depends on the distance between the centre of earth and the mass of earth.
Earth is shaped like a orange.
Hence the distance between the centre to the poles is less than the distance from the center to the equator.
From the law of gravitation we know that acceleration is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
Hence the weight is different.
