These Incredible Gravity Defying Things Will Make You Look Twice

On Earth, the gravitational pull is also depends on latitude. Because of the rotation of the Earth, there is a centripetal force that affects the weight of humans and the gravitational pull people experience. The centripetal force makes it such that someone on the Earth's equator, who is "traveling" at greater speed than someone at one of the poles, weighs less and hence experiences less gravity -- 9.789 meters per second squared vs. 9.832 meters per second squared.
