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.

What causes two distinct pressure zones between equator and the poles?
The Earth's rotation turns the polar high pressure systems westward as they move from the poles (westerlies), and the subtropical high pressure systems eastward as they move toward the equator (tropical easterlies).
What causes two distinct pressure zone between the equator andthe poles?
The equators warm air, and the polar cold air.
What is unique about how the Sun rotates around its axis?
The Sun rotates differentially, meaning that different regions rotate at different speeds. Its equator rotates faster than its poles, completing a full rotation in about 25 days, while near its poles, it takes about 35 days for a full rotation to occur.
Explain Will 1 kg of sugar be more at poles or at the equator?
1 kg of sugar will weigh slightly more at the poles compared to the equator due to differences in gravity caused by the Earth's rotation. Gravity is stronger at the poles and weaker at the Equator due to the centrifugal force caused by the Earth's rotation.
Is it true that magnetic poles are defined by earths rotation?
No, it is not true. The magnetic poles may be influenced by Earth's rotation, but they are certainly not defined by it.

How are poles of earth fixed?
By the axis of earths rotation

Why do the poles receive the less solar energy than the equator does?
Because the middle of the earths surface is the hottest on earth and the equator is right in the middle and the poles is at the end of the earths surfaces

What do you call the line through the earths poles?
the equator daaa
Is it true that magnetic poles are defined by earths rotation?
No, it is not true. The magnetic poles may be influenced by Earth's rotation, but they are certainly not defined by it.
How does rotation affect the value of gravity at the earth surface?
The (centripital) force due to rotation is at its greatest at the equator, if you weigh 100 kg, the force of gravity on you = approx. 982 n anywhere on earths surface, the centripetal force at the equator = 3.4 n
What is true about earths poles?
Only the magnetic poles wanderD.Earth's magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place.Geographic poles are defined by Earth's rotation.
Which best describes earths exact shape Slightly flattened at both equator and poles bulging at equator and polesflattened at equator and slightly bulging at poles flattened at poles and slightly by?
it is a mushed 3d sphere
Do all surface layers of the sun rotate at the same rate?
No, the Sun's equator rotates faster than its poles. This is known as differential rotation, where different latitudes rotate at different speeds. The equator takes around 25 days to complete one rotation, while the poles take around 35 days.
