How does rotation affect the value of gravity at the earth surface?
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
How many earths fit across the moon?
0.578987334321 Earths fit into the moon because the moon is smaller than the Earth
What direction does the International Space Station travel?
counter to the earth's rotation Exactly wrong..........it travels WITH the Earths rotation.....eastwards
How does the earths rotation affect the way you view the moon?
The earths rotation effects whether it is night or day (so you'll see the moon at night).
What is shape and size of the planets?
Planets, by definition are all approximately spherical in shape, though their axial rotation often means that they are oblate spheroids (look like `squashed spheres`, longer across the equator than from pole to pole). The size of the planets varies; Mercury's diameter (at the equator) = 4880km or 0.3825 x Earths diameter Venus' diameter = 12104km or 0.9488 x Earths Earth's diameter = 12756km Mars' diameter = 6794km or 0.5323 x Earths Jupiter's diameter = 142,984km or 11.21 x Earths Saturn's diameter = 120,534km or 9.45 x Earths Uranus' diameter = 51,114km or 4.01 x Earths Neptune's diameter = 49,532km or 3.88 x Earths
What is the earth greatest speed of earths rotation?
The speed of rotation is greatest at the equator; 1038 miles per hour.
What causes two distinct pressure zone between the equator andthe poles?
The equators warm air, and the polar cold air.
What is the approximate distance of the earths circumference equator?
360 degrees x 60 minutes = 21,600 minutes of arc for full circumference = 21,600 nautical miles (one minute of arc at equator = one nautical mile). 21,600 nautical miles = 24,872.7272...statute miles = 40,028.7 kilometres. For all practical purposes 40, 000 km. = circumf. at equator.
What causes two distinct pressure zones between equator and the poles?
The Earth's rotation turns the polar high pressure systems westward as they move from the poles (westerlies), and the subtropical high pressure systems eastward as they move toward the equator (tropical easterlies).
Is the earth wider taller or is it the same?
The Earths diameter is 12742km on average. It is a slightly squashed sphere though, due to its spin pushing out at the equator. Its polar diameter is 12714km, while its diameter at the equator is 12756km
Whats earths diameter?
it's 7,926.41
What is the earths rotation length?
150 Million Kilometers... :) I am a 5th Grade Science Teacher Mrs.Badger :)
What is the circumferential distance for the earths one degree rotation?
The circumferential distance for the Earth's one degree rotation is approximately 111 kilometers (69 miles) at the equator. This value decreases as you move towards the poles due to the Earth's shape, which is an oblate spheroid.
How does rotation affect the value of gravity at the earth surface?
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

What is the distance from earths surface to the center of earth?
That's the Earth's radius. It's about 6378 kilometers at the equator. That's 3963 miles.
Where on earths surface is gravity the strongest?
Gravity is strongest at the Earth's poles and weakest at the equator. This is because the Earth bulges at the equator due to its rotation, creating a slightly greater distance from the center of the Earth to points on the equator, thus reducing the gravitational force experienced there.
