Where on Earth is gravity the weakest?
On the summit of Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador
Background
Gravity is weakest at the top of Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador. The mountain sits near the equator, where Earth bulges out. That makes its peak the farthest point from the center of Earth. You weigh a tiny bit less up there than at sea level.
