How fast does the earth spin on its axis on kph?

Answer 1

The earth spins around at the equator at a speed of roughly 900 miles per hour.

360degrees/24hours x 60 miles/degree = 900 Miles /hour.

Also, with a circumference of 24,000 miles covered in 24 hours yields 1,000 miles per hour.

Answer 2

Because the North and South Poles form the axis around which the Earth spins, the surface rotational velocity at those two locations is zero. (The velocity for any other location can be computed by multiplying the equatorial velocity by the cosine of the angle of latitude. At 90°, the cosine is zero.)

Answer 3

The earth makes a full rotation once every day. Ignoring its rotation around the sun, this is

1 rotation/day = 0.0006944 rotations/minute At the equator you would be travelling 10,050 mph. At the poles you would be stationary, but being turned once per day.

Answer 4

In order to complete one rotation in a day, a point on the equator must move at about 1,035 miles (1,665 km) per hour.

Away from the equator, the speed is smaller. At the poles, it's zero.

Answer 5

At the equator, that would be 40,000 km / 24 hours, or about 1700 kilometers per hour.

At the equator, that would be 40,000 km / 24 hours, or about 1700 kilometers per hour.

At the equator, that would be 40,000 km / 24 hours, or about 1700 kilometers per hour.

At the equator, that would be 40,000 km / 24 hours, or about 1700 kilometers per hour.

Answer 6

'KM' is not a unit of speed. It could be used to construct a unit of speed, such as

'km per minute', 'km per hour', 'km per day' etc. Also, rotation is never described in

units of linear speed. So there are some problems with the question, and we have to

patch it up before we can answer it.

The Earth rotates at the rate of very nearly 1 rotation (360 degrees) per day (24 hours).

The linear speed of any point on the equator is about 1,675 km per hour.

At 30 degrees latitude . . . about 1,450 km per hour.

At 45 degrees latitude . . . about 1,180 km per hour.

At 60 degrees latitude . . . about 840 km per hour.

At 80 degrees latitude . . . about 290 km per hour.

At the north or south pole . . . zero.

Answer 7

-- Once a day

-- (2 pi) per (23H 59M 4S)

-- Roughly1,000 miles per hour at the equator.

1,000 cos(latitude) elsewhere.

Answer 8

The Sun completes an equatorial rotation about once every 25 days. However, the poles spin more slowly, taking more than 34 days to rotate. The equatorial velocity is 7189 km/hr (4467 mph).

Answer 9

The Earth rotates on its axis at an average speed of about 1,670 kilometers per hour (1,040 miles per hour) at the equator. This rotational speed decreases as you move towards the poles.

Answer 10

The earth rotates on its axis. One revolution every day. The surface speed varies with the latitude.
