Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Yes, the value of gravity ‘g’ is greater at the poles. And it is lesser at the equator. This is because the distance between the pole to the center of the earth is less as compared to the distance between the center of the earth and to the earth’s equator. And due to this, the acceleration due to gravity is greater at the poles.
