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.


Explain Will 1 kg of sugar be more at poles or at the equator?

1 kg of sugar will weigh slightly more at the poles compared to the equator due to differences in gravity caused by the Earth's rotation. Gravity is stronger at the poles and weaker at the Equator due to the centrifugal force caused by the Earth's rotation.


Is centrifugal force is more at equator than poles?

No, centrifugal force is greater at the poles than at the equator because the Earth's rotation causes a bulging effect at the equator that counteracts the centrifugal force. This is why objects weigh slightly less at the equator compared to the poles.


Why does the weight of an object change when it is moved from the equator to the poles?

The weight of an object changes when it is moved from the equator to the poles due to the variation in gravitational force caused by the Earth's rotation. The force of gravity is slightly stronger at the poles compared to the equator, leading to a small change in weight.


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.


Is the sun near the equator or near the poles?

The sun is near the equator. This is because the equator receives more direct sunlight, resulting in warmer temperatures compared to 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 :)


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.


Why is the graduation or scale of measurement of latitude from the equator to the pole is not the same of different?

The graduation or scale of measurement of latitude from the equator to the poles is not the same because the Earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid. As you move from the equator towards the poles, the lines of latitude get closer together due to the decreasing circumference of the Earth. This means that the distance covered by each degree of latitude decreases towards the poles.


How many degrees latitude is the equator from the poles?

The equator is 90 degrees of latitude from both poles.


Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?

On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
