There is no way to "feel speed" by itself. If you feel that a car is going fast, it is because the ride is bumpy, because of an acceleration in a curve, or because you see the landscape go by quickly. None of these apply in the case of Earth's rotation. In fact, there is no way to measure it - and hence, there is no way to define "absolute speed". Speed must always be specified relative to some object.

Is Saturn's rotation and revolution fast or slow?

Saturn's rotation is relatively fast, taking about 10.7 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis. However, its revolution around the Sun is slower, taking about 29.5 Earth years to complete one orbit.


Why does Earth Have a strong magnetic field?

Because it has a molten metallic core and a fast rotation.


How is the Moon's rotation different from Earth's?

The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, meaning it rotates on its axis at the same rate it orbits Earth, resulting in the same side always facing us. In contrast, Earth rotates at a faster rate and does not exhibit tidal locking with the Moon.


How fast does the earth rotate on the equator?

Almost exactly 1 rotation per 24 hours.


Why dont you land in a different spot when you jump in the air since the earth is spinning so fast?

When you jump in the air, you already have the same momentum as the spot you jumped from because you and the earth are moving together. The Earth's rotation doesn't affect your jump because the atmosphere moves along with the Earth as well.


What are fast moving rivers in the ocean?

Fast moving rivers int he ocean are called currents. Currents are caused by the Earth's rotation. An ocean current is continuous.


Is Jupiter spinning to fast?

Yes, it is spinning quite fast. Going round in five minutes under 10 hours is very fast for something with ten times the diameter of the Earth. It is not fast enough to make it break up, though.


What is the effect of the fast rotation of earth on its axis?

The earth spins faster than the planets Mercury and Venus, meaning that its apparent days are shorter (24 hours).


Why do you not feel the dizzying speed of the earth's rotation and its tremendously fast revolution?

because you are moving at the same speed - relatively, you are standing still. you are small, the earth is BIG.


How fast does the shadow of the sun move across the Earth's surface?

The answer is dependent on the Earth's rotation ... not the sun. Thus the answer varies from 1000 mph at the equator to zero at the poles.
