It does not vary at all. The different amounts of sunlight are due to the fact that our planet is on a 23.5 degree angle and your position in relation to the rotational center of our planet verses the sun varies. This is the same reason we have a "hole" in our ozone layer each year during he winter months at each pole. The angle prevents the sun from making ozone at these locations for a few months each year.

The rotational speed is one revolution per 24 hours. At the poles this is effectively no speed. To determine the speed at any other latitude, simply multiply the cosine of the degree latitude times the speed of 1037.5646.

For other latitudes...

10° - 1021.7837 mph (1644.4 km/h)

20° - 974.9747 mph (1569.1 km/h)

30° - 898.54154 mph (1446.1 km/h)

40° - 794.80665 mph (1279.1 km/h)

50° - 666.92197 mph (1073.3 km/h)

60° - 518.7732 mph (834.9 km/h)

70° - 354.86177 mph (571.1 km/h)

80° - 180.16804 mph (289.95 km/h)

In addition to the rotational speed of the earth spinning on its axis, the earth is also speeding at about 66,660 miles per hour (107278.87 km/h) in its revolution around the sun once ever 365.2425 days.

Are the Earth's seasons caused by the difference in the distance from the sun throughout the year or the tilt of the Earth's axiz?

The Earth's seasons are primarily caused by the tilt of its axis, not the distance from the sun. As the Earth orbits the sun, the tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to the changing seasons. While the distance from the sun does vary slightly, it has a minimal effect on seasonal changes compared to the axial tilt.


What distance does earth travel in one hour?

The circumference of the earth at the equator is 40,075.02 Km. So therefore the distance travels in 1 hour is equal to 40075.02/24 which equals 1669.79 Km each hour that is a rough calculation, where the distinction between solar days and celestial days is not taken into account. in a solar day, the earth actually rotates 360 plus 360/365 degrees. roughly 1.003 revolutions, which is 40,185 km. this divided by 24 equals 1674 km


Does the date of the equinox vary?

Any calendar is a man-made idea; so is the idea of "date". There are a number of calendars commonly used throughout the world, and unless the calendar is adjusted to FORCE the vernal equinox to occur on a certain date, then yes, the "date" of the vernal equinox will vary.


Is it possible to change the rotation of the earth?

Yes. Stand up, and it will rotate slower. Sit down, and it will rotate faster. Of course, the difference will be so small that you won't notice it. Now that we have very accurate "atomic clocks", scientists can measure changes in the Earth's period of rotation. In fact, the Earth's rotation speed does vary slightly. Some of the variations are predictable, caused by the gravitational effects of other bodies. Other variations are random and unpredictable. There are many possible causes. However, in the long term, the Earth is slowing down. The rotation period is slowing by about one second in 50,000 years. To change the rotation speed quickly would require an enormous input of energy. It's not something Humans can do ...yet.

What is speed that doesn't vary?

A constant speed is a speed that does not change over time, meaning there is no acceleration or deceleration. It remains the same throughout the entire duration of movement.


How fast does speed of light travel on venus?

Speed of light doesn't travel. Light travels.The speed of light doesn't vary depending on the planet; it may, however, vary depending what it goes through. For example, the speed of light in a vacuum is 300,000 km/second; the speed of light in glass is about 2/3 of that value.

How much does earths orbit around the sun vary throughout the year?

Aphelion is 152,098,232 km (the distance when the Earth is furthest from the Sun in July) at that point it is moving slowest: 29,300 m/s. Perihelion is 147,098,290 km (in January when the Earth is closest to the Sun) the orbital speed is greatest: 30,300 m/s.

How many miles is earth away from the the sun?

Earth is approximately 93 million miles away from the sun on average. This distance can vary slightly throughout the year due to Earth's elliptical orbit.


Is a concept that does not vary known as a constant?

Yes, a concept that does not vary is known as a constant. Constants are fixed values that do not change throughout a given context or situation. Examples include the speed of light or the value of pi.


What is the speed of the moon around th earth?

The average orbital speed of the Moon around the Earth is approximately 1,022 kilometers per hour (about 634 miles per hour). This speed can vary slightly due to the Moon's elliptical orbit, with its speed increasing as it approaches Earth and decreasing as it moves farther away. The Moon completes an orbit around the Earth roughly every 27.3 days.
