7. Would you weigh lighter, the same, or more at the equator than you would at the poles?
   A: Lighter (centrifugal force due to the spinning of the Earth is at its maximum at the equator hence making gravity less. The difference is small. Note that your body itself does not change. Rather it is the force of gravity and other forces that change as you approach the poles. These forces change right back when you return to your original latitude)
