    The weight of any body is maximum at poles.
    Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity(g)
    gmaximum at poles and
    gminimum at equator hence weight is maximum at poles and minimum at equator.

    1 micron = 10-6 m
    = 1 nanometer = 10-9 m
    = 1 angstrom = 10-10 m
    = 1 fermi = 10-15 m

    Correct Option: D

    1 micron = 10-6 m
    = 1 nanometer = 10-9 m
    = 1 angstrom = 10-10 m
    = 1 fermi = 10-15 m
