The Earth is gradually slowing down - and will continue to do so throughout time. The length of a 'day' will progressively get longer.

Will earth always spin at this speed if no how will it change?

No. Tidal interactions with the moon are gradually slowing the rate of Earth's spin


Will the earth always spin at this speed if not how will it change?

The Earth's rotational speed is gradually slowing. There are a number of instances where time calculations have meant that we periodically add a 'leap second' to bring the actual time back into sync with the Earth's rotation.


Does earth always spin in the same direction?

Yes it does no matter what.


How fats does the earth spin?

Once every 23h56m. So divide that into the Earth's equatorial circumferencw (look it up) and you have the fastest spinning speed. North and South of the equator the speed is slower, so that at the exact poles there is no spin at all.


Does the moon spin on an axis as it orbits the Earth?

Yes, the moon does spin on its axis as it orbits the Earth. This is why we always see the same side of the moon facing towards us.


Does the north and south poles spin at the same speed as the rest of the world?

yes because they are in the earth


At what speed does the earth spin at mph?

The Earth spins at approximately 1,000 miles per hour at the equator. However, this speed decreases as you move towards the poles.


Why do you not see the far side of the moon?

cuz +he moon spin and orbi+ happen at +he same speed. Tidal forces between earth and the moon have slowed the moon's rotation in a manner that causes the same side of the moon to always be facing earth.


Does the moon spin around?

Yes it does but at the same rate that the Earth spins. Therefore we on Earth always see the same face of it.


What would not exist if the Earth did not spin?

I think maybe there would be one or no seasons and/or on one part of the earth it would always be evening and at another it would always be morning.


Does the earth always spin around?

Yes, 24/7, 'round the clock. It never stops.


How fast does the earth spin in Sacramento?

That depends on where on Earth you are standing. At the poles, the Earth hardly spins at all, but as you travel towards the equator, the rotational speed picks up
