As we learnt

 

Relation of gravity at poles and equator -

 

g_{p}=g_{e}+0.052\; m/s^{2}

g_{p}\rightarrow gravity at pole

g_{e}\rightarrow gravity at equator

- wherein

After considering the effect of rotation, and elliptical shape.

 

 As we know g\alpha \frac{1}{R^2}

R_e>R_p  then g_p>g_e
