Because the gravitational force between the earth and each person is sufficient

centripetal force to maintain circular motion with a radius equal to the Earth's

equatorial radius and angular velocity of (pi/12) radians per hour.

Where is an object that is stationary to earth's surface moving faster relative to space?

Objects that are "stationary" on Earth's surface are moving faster nearer the equator. The eastward motion of the rotating Earth is greatest at the equator (about 1037 mph or 1670 kph).

When earth cools most of the energy transferred from earth's surface to space is transferred by the process of what?

When Earth cools, most of the energy is transferred from Earth's surface to space through radiation. This process involves the emission of infrared radiation from the Earth's surface that travels through the atmosphere and into space.


Is the space station rotating around earth?

Yes, it's held in orbit by gravity.


When the SUN will stop rotating what will happened?

If the Sun were to stop rotating, its magnetic field would weaken over time and the Sun's surface would become less active with fewer sunspots and solar flares. This could potentially have effects on Earth's climate and space weather, but it would not cause the Sun to go out or have an immediate impact on life on Earth.


What are rocks that hit the earth's surface called?

Rocks that hit the Earth's surface are called meteorites. When a meteoroid (a rock in space) survives its journey through the atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface, it is referred to as a meteorite.


Why does the earth go aroud the sun?

Because the cloud of material from which it formed was rotating, and there is nothing in space to stop it.


Can you see the earth rotating on its axis from space?

Of course. You may have to wait a while but the rotation would be obvious.


When you observe objects in space why does it seem that the objects you observe are moving across the sky?

Because the earth is rotating.


What is the rock from space found on earth's surface?

What are rocks from space that strike earth's surface?
