    The dino would need to be even lighter if the earth was heavier because the force of gravity would be higher, but in general differences in gravity across the earth’s surface amounts to a rounding error. For example, you’re probably looking at 2000 ish miligal from the top of a tall mountain to sea level difference in gravity, or .02m/s^2 difference.

      From mountain to sea level yeah but the difference between Equator and North Pole is almost 1% because Earth is not a perfect sphere.
