Gravitational acceleration is highest at the poles and lowest at the equator due to the shape of the Earth. At the Poles, the gravitational force is at its maximum because, unlike at the equator, there is no centrifugal force to reduce it. Also, the Equatorial radius is about 21 km longer than the polar radius.
