Thanks for providing the site address. It was fascinating to see what kind of information you can get on the internet.

Not at all. However, you will be lighter on the equator of a spinning planet because gravity is not the only force acting on you. The spin of the planet will make you lighter.

A 170 pound person standing on the equator would weigh about 1/2 pound more if the Earth stopped spinning.
