What are three proofs of earths rotation?

Foucault Pendulum: The changing direction of the pendulum's swing demonstrates the rotation of Earth beneath it. Coriolis Effect: The deflection of moving objects like air currents and ocean currents is caused by Earth's rotation. Day-night cycle: The cycle of day and night is a direct result of Earth's rotation on its axis.


A Foucault pendulum provides evidence of Earth's?

rotation. The swinging motion of the pendulum appears to change over time due to the rotation of the Earth beneath it, demonstrating the Earth's rotation in relation to the pendulum. This phenomenon is known as the Coriolis effect.


How does the Foucault pendulum demonstrate the rotation of the Earth?

The Foucault pendulum demonstrates the rotation of the Earth by showing the change in direction of the pendulum's swing over time. As the Earth rotates beneath it, the pendulum's swing appears to rotate, providing visual evidence of the Earth's rotation.
