The diameter of earth is greatest at the?
The diameter of the Earth is greatest at the equator, measuring approximately 12,742 kilometers (7,918 miles). This is due to the Earth's rotation causing a bulging effect around the equator, resulting in a slightly larger diameter compared to the distance between the Earth's surface through the poles.
Where does earth's greatest speed of rotation occur?
The Earth's greatest speed of rotation occurs at the equator, where it moves at a speed of about 1670 kilometers per hour (1037 miles per hour) due to the larger circumference at the equator compared to the poles.
Why is the equator circumference larger than the circumference at the poles?
Because of the cintrifugal force caused by the the earth's rotation
How many miles is the earth's diameter at the equator?
The diameter of the earth at the equator is about 25,000 miles, or about 40,000 kilometers
Is the speed of rotation at the equator greater than that in Canada?
Yes, the speed of rotation at the equator is faster than in Canada due to the larger circumference of the Earth at the equator. This difference in rotational speed is caused by the flattening of the Earth's shape at the poles, known as oblateness.
How many times larger is the suns diameter than the earth diameter?
Earth's diameter at the equator is 12,756.1 kilometers or 7,926.28 miles. Sun's diameter at the equator is 1.392 million kilometers or 864,900 miles. The diameter of the Sun is 109 times larger than the diameter of the Earth.

This is due to the Earth's rotation causing a bulging effect around the equator, resulting in a slightly larger diameter compared to the distance between the Earth's surface through the poles.
What part of the earth bulges?
The equator has a slightly larger circumference than the north south measurement.
Where does earth's greatest speed of rotation occur?
The Earth's greatest speed of rotation occurs at the equator, where it moves at a speed of about 1670 kilometers per hour (1037 miles per hour) due to the larger circumference at the equator compared to the poles.
Why is the equator circumference larger than the circumference at the poles?
Because of the cintrifugal force caused by the the earth's rotation
Where is the strengh of gravitational forcen in the poles or equator?
If the Earth were a (homogeneous) sphere, the gravitational force on its surface would be the same everywhere. I think that the gravitational force is slightly larger at the equator (center bulging Earth). But you might not measure it because of the rotation of the Earth.
Why is the circumference around the equator larger than that around the poles?
The Earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation. This oblate shape causes the circumference around the equator to be larger than around the poles.
Is our planet larger or smaller than earth?
Earth is the name for our planet, so it would be exactly the same. The radius of earth is 3,959 miles. The mass is 5.972 × 10^24 kg. The circumference at the equator is 24,902 miles.
Why gravity is stronger at poles than along the equator.do you know why?
Since the earth is spinning ... an object on the equator is moving roughly 1,000 miles per hour ... the earth is somewhat bulged at the equator. Its diameter at the equator is a little larger than the distance between the north and south poles. For that reason, when you stand at the pole, you're a bit closer to the center of the earth than when you stand on the equator. The farther you are from the center of the earth, the lower the force of gravity between you and the earth. So the force is less at the equator and more at the poles.
Is there a moon larger than earth?
NO......... Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, is the largest in this solar system. At 5,268 km at the equator, it is larger than Mercury, the dwarf planet Pluto, and three times larger than the Moon orbiting Earth. Even it is 3 times larger than earth's moon it is still not big enough to oversize earth.
How can you use the word equator?
The equator of the Earth
How would you use equator in a sentence?
The equator splits up half of the earth. The equator is a line that splits half of the earth
