The value of g changes from place to place due
to the elliptical shape of the Earth and the rotation of the Earth. Due
to the shape of the Earth,
From equation (4)

Hence, it is inversely proportional to the square of the radius.
It is least at the equator and maximum at the poles, since the
equatorial radius (6378.2 km) is more than the polar radius (6356.8 km)


Hence, it is inversely proportional to the square of the radius.
