no, we do not weigh the same at the poles because as the earth is not perfectly round and is like an orange, the distance between the object and the earth's core is less due to which we weigh more on poles

What is the force that dictates that objects weigh more at the equator than at the poles?
Well the above question is not true, The same object will weigh less at the equator than at the poles (of Earth). The force is the force of gravity and the effect is because the object placed at the poles will be nearer the center of the Earth than at the equator because the Earth is an Oblate Spheroid.
Why does the weight of an object change when it is moved from the equator to the poles?
Because of centripetal acceleration you will weigh a tiny amount less at the equator than at the poles.
Explain Will 1 kg of sugar be more at poles or at the equator?
Mass. . . . . same at the poles as it is at the equator. Weight . . . more at the poles Cost . . . . . more at the poles
Gravity is greater at the what?
Gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles. This means an object will weigh about 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The equator has no poles.
Why Will a man weigh more at the North Pole than he weighs at the equator?
Because the earth is not a perfect sphere and bulges slightly at the equator you are further from the centre of the earth and you would weigh very slightly less at the equator than at the poles.
Are the lines of longitude the same distance apart at the equator as they are at the poles?
No. All of the meridians merge in a single point at the poles.
Is the force and gravitational force poles and equator is same or different?
its is different ok :)
Is the sun near the equator or near the poles?
It is effectively the same distance from both.
Where is it more profitable to purchase one kg of sugar at poles or equator and how?
I would say that buying sugar at the equator is more profitable as gravitational pull is less at the equator (you can say almost zero) as compared to the poles (where the gravitational pull is the highest) , so sugar will weigh more at the poles than at the equator. Therefore, we can say that the price of sugar will be more at the poles than at the equator. The sugar will WEIGH less at the equator , so the price will also be less there. Hence, buying sugar at the equator is more profitable.NOTE: SUGAR WILL HAVE SAME MASS AT THE EQUATOR AS WELL AS AT THE POLES.====================================Beautiful. But, since the sell-price of anything reflects both the cost of producing it AND the cost of transporting it to market, have you considered the cost of shipping sugar to the equator from where it grows, compared to the cost of shipping sugar to the poles from where it grows ? When I worked briefly in an industrial complex in northern Alaska ten years ago, the price of a gallon of gasoline there was already over $6 .By the way ... before I go ... the force of gravity at the poles is not "almost zero", and the apparent weight of an object at the pole compared to its weight at the equator is greater on only the order of 1 percent, on account of both the greater radius and the effect of Earth's rotation at the equator.
How does the earth rotation affect the measurement of the weight of an object at the equator?
Due to the centrifugal force caused by Earth's rotation opposing gravity for objects on the equator, objects there weigh about 0.5% less than they do on the poles. So an object that weighs 200 N at the poles weighs about 199 N on the equator.
How many degrees latitude is the equator from the poles?
The equator is 90 degrees of latitude from both poles.
