The free fall acceleration g increases as one proceeds, at sea level, from the equator toward either pole. The reason is
Earth is a sphere with same density everywhere

Earth is approximately an ellipsoid having its equatorial radius greater than its polar radius by 21 km
Earth is approximately an ellipsoid having its equatorial radius smaller than its polar radius by 21 km
