Answer:
Hello
Explanation:
The value of acceleration due to gravity is more at the poles than the equator because the shape of earth is not sphere but geoif that is its diameter at poles is less than that at equator.
As the force is invercely proportional to the square of diatance between them and as distance is less at near equator so that is the reason acceleration due to gravity is more.

In combination, the equatorial bulge and the effects of the surface centrifugal force due to rotation mean that sea-level gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles, so an object will weigh approximately 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.
