If you are at exactly the north or south pole the measurement is in Revolutions per Day
And that speed is 1 Revolution Per Day.

What is the earth greatest speed of earths rotation?
The speed of rotation is greatest at the equator; 1038 miles per hour.
What is the circular speed at earth's surface?
It depends where you are on the earth, specifically how far north or south of the equator. At the north or south pole, the speed of rotation is zero. The fastest rotational speed occurs at the equator, where a fixed point rotates the entire circumference of the earth in 24 hours. The speed is about 1,040 miles per hour.
What is the rotationl velocity of the south pole and north pole of the earth?
The Earth's north pole and south pole each rotate at the rate of [ 1 rotation / 2 pi radians / 360 degrees ] per 24hours 56minutes 4seconds. Their linear speed, with respect to any other point on Earth, is zero.
If an object left Earth which direction will it travel due to inertia and Earths rotation?
That depends, in what direction it is moving initially, and at what speed. Inertia is the tendency to MAINTAIN a velocity.
Does the earths rotation speed up from the moon?
No. Just the opposite. The earth's rotation is slowing down because of the gravitational force between the earth and the moon. The day is getting longer by something like a millisecond (0.001 second) every hundred years.
What is the earth greatest speed of earths rotation?
The speed of rotation is greatest at the equator; 1038 miles per hour.
Did the recent earthquake in japan speed up the earths rotation?
No.
Which term would you use to describe the spinning of Earths on its axis?
Rotation or Rotating. If you stand at either the North Pole or the South Pole , you just twist/rotate on the spot. However, if you are at the Eqautor you are rotating at about 1,000 miles per hour. At latitudes 60N & 60 S your rotational speed is about 500 miles per hour.

Why does the United States launch rockets from Florida?
The rockets are launched easterly and get the benefit of of the speed of the earths rotation and there is the entire Atlantic Ocean for safety.

How is the moon special to the earth?
the moon controls the tides on earth and so our rotation speed and so the amount of hours in a day..it gives a ryhthm to earths existence

What keeps people from feeling the speed of the earths rotation?
Everything else is moving along with you. You don't really notice much movement when you're taking an airplane trip unless you're landing or taking off; the earth's rotation is similar.
Does the earths rotation speed up from the moon?
No. Just the opposite. The earth's rotation is slowing down because of the gravitational force between the earth and the moon. The day is getting longer by something like a millisecond (0.001 second) every hundred years.
What did Lincoln's plan for reconstruction aim to do?
Speed up the reuniting of the south!
How much longer is Mars' rotation than the Earth's rotation?
Mars sidereal rotation is 1.025 day Earths sidereal rotation is 0.997 day. Mars rotates on its axis at a speed similar to Earth's,averagiung 25 degrees,although in the past that angle has been as great as 60 degrees. This means that Mars,like Earth,has distinct seasons
