    Less gravity at the equator than the poles because of a combo of the earths bulge and spin

    And less gravity at altitude

    Granted the difference between pole and equator is like 0.5% and the difference at the peak of Mount Everest and sea level is even less, I just find gravimetry fascinating since I was a kid watching Mythbusters
