Final answer:

The acceleration due to gravity decreases from the poles of the Earth to its equator due to the effects of centrifugal force and Earth's rotation.


Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity varies from the poles of the Earth to its equator. At the equator, the acceleration due to gravity is slightly less than at the poles due to the centrifugal force caused by the Earth's rotation.

As you move from the poles to the equator, the acceleration due to gravity decreases. This is because the centripetal acceleration caused by the Earth's rotation counteracts a small portion of the gravitational force.
