How does the acceleration due to gravity vary from place to place on the surface of the Earth?

Open in App

Solution

For an object placed at a height h, the acceleration due to gravity is less as compared to that placed on the surface.
As depth increases, the value of acceleration due to gravity (g) falls.
The value of g is more at the poles and less at the equator.
