The maximum gravity on Earth is typically experienced at the Earth's surface near the poles, rather than at the equator. This is because the Earth is not a perfect sphere but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation.
The Earth's rotation causes a centrifugal force that counteracts a small portion of the gravitational force. At the equator, the centrifugal force is at its maximum, resulting in a slightly reduced net gravity compared to the poles.
To be more specific, the Earth's gravity is not uniform due to variations in its mass distribution. Factors such as the Earth's rotation, uneven density distribution, and local topography contribute to gravitational anomalies. These anomalies cause slight variations in the gravitational acceleration experienced at different locations on Earth.
If we consider these factors, Mount Nevado Huascarán in Peru, located near the equator, is often cited as the place where the gravitational acceleration is slightly higher than anywhere else on the Earth's surface. Other locations near the poles, such as Arctic regions in countries like Greenland or Russia, would also have marginally higher gravitational acceleration compared to equatorial regions.
However, it's important to note that these variations are extremely small and not perceivable to human senses. The difference in gravitational acceleration between the highest and lowest points on Earth is only a fraction of a percent.
