How the gravitational acceleration will change when you move from equator to north or south pole on the surface of earth?
It will increase very slightly at the poles compared to the equator, because the Earth's radius at the poles is slightly less than it is at the equator.
What has a higher gravitational pull the equator or the north pole?
The gravitational pull of the earth is pretty much the same anywhere between the poles and the equator creating a centripetal force pulling things in towards the earth.. However, the rotation of the planet results in an outward centrifugal force pushing things away from the earth. This force is greatest at the equator. Even though the gravitational pull is the same everywhere, the centrifugal force at the equator gives the impression of a very slightly lower gravitational pull.
Is there more different religions in the south or north equator?
don't no
How are the equator and prime different?
The Equator runs east-west and the prime meridian runs north-south.
How are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles different?
The Arctic Circle is north of the Equator; the Antarctic Circle is south of the Equator.
What are the two occurrences that cause the earth to measure less from North to South in comparison to measuring earth around the equator?
The reason for the flattening at the poles, North and South. And the widening at the Equator is primarily due to two factors. The rotation of the Earth and the tidal buldge at the Equator, due to the Moon's gravitational pull on the oceans.
How are equator and prime meridian different?
The Equator runs east-west and the prime meridian runs north-south.
Why is human mass at the North Pole different from the mass at the Equator?
they are diffrent
What is the latitude and longitude for equator?
The equator is a latitude line, so it has no specific longitude. The equator is at 0o north or south. There are many points on the equator, so every point on the equator has a different longitude.
What are the due north of the Equator?
The North Pole is due north of the Equator.
Is India north or south from the equator?
India is north from Equator.
Lagos north or south of the equator?
