The equator bulge is caused by the sun’s gravity, not the way the earth spins...

[Mister Obvious]

The sun is what causes gravity...

The sun’s gravity is interacting with the gravity of the core of the planet, which is also a miniature sun.

Science people are idiots.

[Mister Obvious]

The sun shines centrally on the equator, which pulls it closer and makes it bulge.

Which is hot.

[Mister Obvious]

It’s the same as how plants grow toward the light.

I think it's both but I ain't no rocket surgeon.
