Is the wind rotation of a tornado faster in the center or outside?

The wind is generally fastest at the edge of the core. This is because, within a certain radius, the tornado rotates essentially as if it were a solid object.

How many times can a tornado spin in just 1 minute?
That is highly variable and there is no single answer. A small but intense tornado can rotate 60 or more times in a minute. At the other end a very large tornado might not even complete a full rotation in a minute, at least on the outside. This if further complicated by the fact that a tornado usually spins faster near its center than at its edges.
Does high air pressure increase tornado rotation?
No. Generally the lower the air pressure inside a tornado the faster it rotates.
What part of a tornado spins faster?
The outside of the tornado goes the fastest. When you start to move towards the middle of the tornado, the calmer it gets. The eye of the tornado doesn't even move.
Why are strong tornadoes faster then weak tornadoes?
Strong tornadoes do not necessarily move faster, but the faster winds inside the tornado are the reason they're stronger. There are a number of factors affecting the strength of the winds inside a tornado and scientists still do not fully understand them. One factor simply has to do with the amount of energy in the atmosphere that can power a thunderstorm and thus a tornado. A thunderstorm also has to have strong rotation to produce a tornado, especially a strong one. If the rotation in a storm isn't strong enough, then not much of the energy will go into the winds of the tornado. Finally, the tornado's level or organization influences the winds it can generate. A disorganized tornado is unlikely to be able to focus its energy to produce the extreme winds seen in strong tornadoes.
Which is faster a twister or a tornado?
Neither. A twister and a tornado are the same thing.

Does the center of a circle turn faster than the outside?
no
What happens when a tornado spins faster?
When a tornado spins faster its winds carry more force, so the tornado can cause more severe damage than it could before. Under some circumstances the increase in speed can trigger a phenomenon called vortex breakdown. In this process air at the center of the tornado begins to sink, forcing the tornado to widen. The collision between outward moving air from the center of the tornado and inflow toward the tornado then results in the formation of a series of smaller vortices within the tornado.

Does the center of a circle turn at the same speed as the outside?
Yes. If it moved faster, it would break the center from the circle.

Which has wind that go faster a twister or tornado?
Neither is faster than the other. A twister and a tornado are the same thing.

Why do tornadoes have a big hole in the middle?
The hole in the center of a tornado is formed in a similar way to the eye of a hurricane. Low pressure inside the tornado pulls air in. As the air moves in it starts spinning faster. At a certain point the tornado is spinning so far that air cannot make it all the way to the center. Instead, air moves down the center. This process is called vortex breakdown and usually only occurs in intense tornadoes.
Is a rocket faster than a tornado?
YES
