These Incredible Gravity Defying Things Will Make You Look Twice

In addition, the force of gravity on Earth actually changes depending on where you’re standing on it. The first reason is because the Earth is rotating. This means that the gravity of Earth at the equator is 9.789 m/s², while the force of gravity at the poles is 9.832 m/s². In other words, you weigh more at the poles than you do at the equator because of this centripetal force, but only slightly more.
