Hear me out, gravity pulls us towards itself. It is determined by the magnitude of mass of that object. As we go deeper in earth, the amount of mass ‘under’ us decreases and so doesn’t the gravity also decrease? Have been thinking about it since I was 12, I am 15 now 🙂
Edit : It wouldn’t be right to thank just one of you by replying as I have seen some other people do but thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate it.

The gravity should decrease the deeper you go as the earths mass will be more spread around you instead of all of it being below you.
However the closer you are to the earth core the less centrifugal force will be applied to your body, thus making you heavier.
This is why you weigh more on the ice poles but also the fact that the earth is oval so the poles are naturally closer to the core than the equator is
