The (centripital) force due to rotation is at its greatest at the equator, if you weigh 100 kg, the force of gravity on you = approx. 982 n anywhere on earths surface, the centripetal force at the equator = 3.4 n

Why is the surface of the sea not level?

Various factors such as gravity, winds, tides, and Earth's rotation cause the sea surface to not be perfectly level. Gravity pulls water towards the center of the Earth, while winds and tides create uneven patterns on the surface. Earth's rotation also leads to the formation of ocean currents, which further affect the sea surface.


How using Earth's rotation speed to escape gravity?

Earth's rotation speed doesn't affect the ability to escape Earth's gravity. Escaping Earth's gravity requires reaching a velocity of about 11.2 km/s regardless of Earth's rotation speed. Earth's rotation does provide a slight boost to the velocity required to escape in the direction of the rotation.


What two types of force are in constant battle on the earth's surface?

I think gravity and rotation, air


What kind of gravity does Saturn have?

At the surface, it's about the same as the Earth's . You get a bit of variation in the value given, but, at the equator, it's about 1.065 times the Earth's. It is about 0.92 times the Earth's gravity, if you take into account the effect of the planet's rotation.


What is the value of 'g' if the earth stops rotating?

If the Earth were to stop rotating, the value of 'g' (acceleration due to gravity) would remain approximately the same at the Earth's surface. The rotation of the Earth does not significantly affect the gravitational pull experienced on the surface.


Is the gravity of earth is because of it rotation?

No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.


Effect of surface area from gravity on earth?

The effect of surface area on gravity on Earth is minimal. Gravity primarily depends on the mass of the Earth and the distance between an object and the Earth's center. Changes in surface area would not significantly affect the gravitational pull experienced by objects on Earth.


Would gravity exist even if the earth stopped rotating?

Yes, indeed it would. Gravity is not caused by the rotation of the Earth. In fact, there would be a very small increase in the "apparent gravity" at the Earth's surface because of the lack of a "centrifugal" effect.


Is the gravity involve in the rotation of earth at its own axis?

No. Earth's gravity is the result of its mass.


How does gravity affect Earth's water?

The gravity of Earth pulls the water onto the surface of the planet and is responsible for some of the propagation of waves. The gravity of the Moon and Sun pull on Earth's water and are responsible for the tides.


What is a true state meant about gravity?

earth rotation on its axis causes gravity to occur on earth


Why don't we swirl off the earth as it rotates fast?

The Earth's gravitational pull keeps us grounded despite its rapid rotation. The force of gravity is stronger than the centrifugal force created by the Earth's rotation, so we remain firmly in place on the surface.
