What is the earth greatest speed of earths rotation?
The speed of rotation is greatest at the equator; 1038 miles per hour.
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.
What is the circular speed at earth's surface?
It depends where you are on the earth, specifically how far north or south of the equator. At the north or south pole, the speed of rotation is zero. The fastest rotational speed occurs at the equator, where a fixed point rotates the entire circumference of the earth in 24 hours. The speed is about 1,040 miles per hour.
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.
If an object left Earth which direction will it travel due to inertia and Earths rotation?
That depends, in what direction it is moving initially, and at what speed. Inertia is the tendency to MAINTAIN a velocity.
What is the earth greatest speed of earths rotation?

Did the recent earthquake in japan speed up the earths rotation?
No.

Which term would you use to describe the spinning of Earths on its axis?
Rotation or Rotating. If you stand at either the North Pole or the South Pole , you just twist/rotate on the spot. However, if you are at the Eqautor you are rotating at about 1,000 miles per hour. At latitudes 60N & 60 S your rotational speed is about 500 miles per hour.

Why does the United States launch rockets from Florida?
The rockets are launched easterly and get the benefit of of the speed of the earths rotation and there is the entire Atlantic Ocean for safety.

Why speed changes on earth rotation from latitude?
The circumference around the Earth at different latitudes varies, from 40,075 km at the equator, to 26,291 km at 49° latitude, to 0km at the axis of rotation (i.e. the North and South poles). Thus, as the Earth spins around it's axis, different latitudes will cover different distances within the same time frame. And since speed (and velocity) are calculated by dividing distance by time, the speed (and velocity) will therefore decrease as you approach the poles.
What did Lincoln's plan for reconstruction aim to do?
Speed up the reuniting of the south!
What keeps people from feeling the speed of the earths rotation?
Everything else is moving along with you. You don't really notice much movement when you're taking an airplane trip unless you're landing or taking off; the earth's rotation is similar.
Is the jet stream caused by earth's rotation?
Partially. The pressure difference between warm air near equator and cold air near arctic causes air to rise at equator travel north to arctic then down and south back to equator. The rotation of the earth bends that north-south belt - faster at the equator than at the slower rotation at arctic. The result of both is the jet stream.
