Answer:
Apples weigh more at poles than at equator due to the difference in acceleration due to gravity. ... At the poles, it is closer to the centre of the Earth so the radius is less( due to the shape of the Earth). Hence, the pull of gravity is more.

Explanation:
- Closer to center → stronger gravitational attraction → greater weight.
- From newtons law of gravitation we know Gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance.
- And the gravity is slightly higher at the poles than at the equator
- So due to this an object will weigh around 0.5% more at the poles.
- That is the reason by apples or any object weigh more at poles.
