What is determined by the speed of earths rotation on its axis?

The speed of Earth's rotation on its axis determines the length of a day. A faster rotation results in shorter days, while a slower rotation results in longer days.


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.


Earth's greatest speed of rotation occurs at the?

It spins at the same rate wherever you are Maybe equator


Which part of earth's surface has the greatest rotational speed about Earth's axis. Which part has the greatest linear speed relative to Earth's axis?

In the case of a solid rotating object, the rotational speed is the same for all parts. The linear speed is greatest at points that are furthest from the axis of rotation - in other words, at the equator.


Do skyscrapers slow down earths rotation?

Skyscrapers have a negligible impact on the Earth's rotation. Their size and mass are not significant enough to affect the Earth's rotation speed or axis. Other factors like earthquakes, glaciers melting, and ocean currents play a much larger role in influencing the Earth's rotation.


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.


Did the recent earthquake in japan speed up the earths rotation?

No.


Where is the earth's greatest linear speed?

The Earth's greatest linear speed occurs at the equator, where its rotation causes a point on the surface to move around the planet at about 1,670 kilometers per hour (1,040 miles per hour).


How does earth's varying orbital speed affect it's rotation?

The earth's orbital speed has no influence or effect on its rotation.


Is any report that earth rotation speed decreasing?

Earth's rotation speed is gradually decreasing, as a result of the tides.


How using Earth's rotation speed to escape gravity?

Earth's rotation speed doesn't affect the ability to escape Earth's gravity. Escaping Earth's gravity requires reaching a velocity of about 11.2 km/s regardless of Earth's rotation speed. Earth's rotation does provide a slight boost to the velocity required to escape in the direction of the rotation.


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.
