The earth rotates once per day about its axis Where on the surface should you stand in order to have the smallest possible tangental speed?

At either of the poles. There, the tangential speed is zero,
and you're just twirling around your own axis.

Why steam is sometimes visible as in winter?
Its not, steam and water vapor, both gaseous forms of water, are invisible. Water on earth's surface, below it's surface, or in its atmosphere is only visible in the form of liquid or ice. Its possible that under pressure conditions elsewhere in the universe that gaseous water could be visible.
How Does the tilt of earths axis affect the number of daylight hours and the temperature of a location on earths?
If the Earth's axis was vertical - every point on its surface would have the same length of day and night, no matter what time of year it was. The tilt of the axis (to about 11 degrees) means that, as the Earth rotates, and travels around the sun, the length of day shortens and lengthens throughout the year.

The skinlike surface on a liquid that pulls it together into the smallest possible area?
surface tension
What is tendency of liquids to decrease their surface area to the smallest size possible?
viscosity
Why is rain in the shape of a sphere?
The surface tension of water is such that it will attempt to create the smallest surface area possible. That will always be a sphere.
What is the smallest possible surface area of a right prism with a volume of 200 cm3?
Assuming you mean a rectangular prism, you get the smallest surface area if the prism is a cube. You can calculate the required length of side to get that volume; then, based on that, the corresponding surface area.
What is free surface of a liquid behaves like a sheet and tends to contract to the smallest possible area due to the?
This property is the surface tension.
Does a basketball have a lot of surface to volume ratio?
No. A sphere has the smallest surface to volume ratio possible and a basketball is nearly spherical in shape (it has surface dimpling and seams).
What rotates between a rain cloud and earths surface?
Precipitatio
How do you now the sun rotates?
We know the Sun rotates because we can observe stationary sun spots moving across its surface.
Why does a small water droplet in the air remain spherical?
It is held in a spherical shape by the surface tension of the water/air boundary which forces the droplet to assume the smallest surface area possible (which is a sphere).
How does day and night occur on uranus?
Any planet that rotates on its axis will experience day and night as the surface rotates away from the Sun.
What is the tendency of liquids to decreases their surface area to the smallest size possible?
The surface area of the liquid can decrease when there is increase in the temperature of the day,what is called evaporation is been taking place in the surface of the liquid,wchich decreases the liquid area.
Why do surface winds blow on a curved path?
Because the Earth rotates.
