The difference in the acceleration due to gravity at the pole and equator is ( $g=$ acceleration due to gravity,$R=$ radius of earth,$\theta=$ latitude,$\omega=$ angular velocity,$\cos 0^{\circ}=1, \cos 90^{\circ}=0$ ).

Imagine a new planet having the same density as that of the earth, but it is two times bigger than the earth in size (radius). If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the new planet is $g'$ and that on the surface of the earth is $g$, then:

Acceleration due to gravity $g$ for a body of mass $m$ on the Earth's surface is proportional to (Radius of Earth $= R$,mass of Earth $= M$)
