yes. rotation at equator is roughly 1000 mph, rotation at any other latitude is about cos (latitude) * 1000 mph.

What is the earth greatest speed of earths rotation?

The speed of rotation is greatest at the equator; 1038 miles per hour.


Where does earth's greatest speed of rotation occur?

The Earth's greatest speed of rotation occurs at the equator, where it moves at a speed of about 1670 kilometers per hour (1037 miles per hour) due to the larger circumference at the equator compared to the poles.


Why is the speed of the rotation of the earth greater at the Equator than at the Arctic Circle?

A point on the equator has to turn through almost 25,000 miles in a day. A point 100 feet from the north pole only has to turn through about 314 feet in a day.


What state has the greatest tangential speed?

The state with the greatest tangential speed is at the equator. This is because the speed is highest at the equator due to the Earth's rotation.


Earth's greatest speed of rotation occurs at the?

It spins at the same rate wherever you are Maybe equator


What is the speed of the earth's rotation in feet per second?

The earth rotates at about 1,038 mph at the equator. This equates to 1,522.4 feet per second.


How fast earth rotates on its axis in one second?

The Earth rotates at a rate of slightly over 15 arc-seconds per second.The actual speed of rotation depends on latitude. It's greatest at the equator. At the equator, the Earth's rotation speed is about 465 meters per second.


Are these questions about the speed of the rotation of the earth to remain unanswered?

Often they will be, but similarly worded questions have been answered in the past.


Which planet has the biggest bulge at the equator?

The relatively pronounced bulge is due to, Jupiter's rapid rotation rate of 9 hrs 56 mins, and Saturns 10hrs 32. As the planets are made of gas this high speed rotation pushes out the gas at the equator.


Why is the speed of earths rotation different at the equator than it is at the poles?

Distance equals rate multiplied by time. A point on the equator will travel more distance during one revolution than a corresponding point on the Arctic Circle. Since the elapsed time is the same, the point on the equator must be going at a faster rate.


Are people living at the equator constantly accelerating?

No, people living at the equator are not constantly accelerating. The only acceleration they would experience is due to the Earth's rotation, which is a constant speed.


What is the speed of 100 KG person at the earth's equator?

Are you talking about the speed of rotation of the Earth's surface at the equator ? Angularly, that would be 1 rotation/day, or roughly 1,038 miles per hour linearly. The man's mass makes no difference. When a group of people all get together at the equator, we don't see the heavy ones racing ahead or lagging behind the light ones.
