Earth's spheroidal shape affects surface speed due to its rotation and the distribution of mass. The equatorial region, being farther from the axis of rotation, experiences a higher linear velocity compared to areas near the poles. This results in varying speeds across the planet's surface, with objects at the equator moving faster than those at higher latitudes. Additionally, the curvature of the Earth influences gravitational forces, which can affect speed differently depending on the location.

What is a planet in astrophysics?
A planet is a spheroidal solid or gas receiving and reflecting light and other electromagnetic radiation from a star that clears its orbital trajectory of smaller bodies.
How might the areas of solid iron floating over the Earths molten core affect our planet's spin?

What is a planet in astrophysics?

How does the moon affect planets?
the moon creats earths tides! It also effects the planet by stabilizing the rotation of earth!
How is heat from earths interior transferred to earths surface by convections?
Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.

Venus is closest to earths planet size.
