What does the earth do in a day?
earth does in a day is that it spins around around the sun
How does the earth spin and rotate?
no the earth spins on it's axis while rotating around the sun
Why the earth's inner core spins faster than the outer earth?
My rough guess is that "faster (inner) core is relic of tidal deceleration." Since tidal deceleration of the Earth is due to frictional force exerted by ocean tide on the ocean bottom surface, core can decouple in the tidal braking. (sunghona@kasi.re.kr)
What is the purpose of the earths outer core?
There is no "purpose"; the density of the materials in the outer core are less pressured and spin slower than the inner core. NOTE: the inner core spins faster than the outer, creating Earth's magnetic field.
Why does the earth revolve and the moon doesn't?
Moon also revolve. Earth revolve round the sun and moon revolve round the earth.
Why don't things fly off the surface of the earth when it spins at such a high speed?
1.Earth has Strong Gravity. 2.Earth doesn't spins so fast!
Earth spins on an axis but which part of earth spins the slowest?
The Earth's rotation
If earth spins once each day what is the speed of spinning in km?
it spins and aprox. 100km every DAY
When earth spins at slower speed how many hours in a day would it be?
15 hours
Earth spins on its?
If you mean earth spins in its? Then the answer is Earth spins on its axis, while also orbiting the Sun.
Why doesn't rain sink to the bottom of the earth-?
Rain sinks into the surface of the Earth where it can. There is no bottom or top to the Earth since it continuously spins on its axis.
What is the efffect of rotation of the earth when facing the sun?
The illuminated patch on the earth's surface drifts westward relative to a fixed point on the earth as the earth spins eastward.
Earth's greatest speed of rotation occurs at the?
It spins at the same rate wherever you are Maybe equator
Can ever north and south poles meet?
No. They're the points where the imaginary pencil that the Earth spins on pokes through the Earth's surface.
Surface ocean currents curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere because?
of the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. As water moves northward, the Coriolis effect deflects the currents to the right. This results in clockwise circulation patterns in the Northern Hemisphere.
If the earth spins on its axis at 1100 mileshour what is the speed of the Earth's rotation in feet per second?
The Earth rotates once per day.
What does the earth spins on?
the earth spins on an axis, which is carried over by conservation of angular momentum when the earth was created
