Here's a silly question...?

Why do you think this is silly? Of course, you are quite correct, you weigh about 0.3% less at the equator than at the poles (see calculation in first reference below).\n\nAnd as has been noted above, this tiny difference, even between a place like Cape Canaveral and the equator makes a huge difference in the fuel requirements of a very heavy rocket (rotational velocities of 894 mph vs. 1038 mph, respectively). That is why all countries try to locate their launch facilities at low latitudes. \n\nThis effect was even mentioned in Jules Verne's 1866 book "From the Earth to the Moon". Verne located his launch cannon in Florida, at 28 degrees North.
