The magnitude of earth's gravity varies [pretty haphazardly across the globe](https://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-06/esa-satellite-maps-earths-gravity-3-d/). It's not closely correlated with the equator.
Maybe you mean because of the sum of gravity and centrifugal force makes means the mass has less weight?
