How Fast Is the Earth Rotating on Its Axis? The Earth rotates on its axis once each day. Because the circumference of the Earth at theequatoris 24,901.55 miles, a spot on the equator rotates at approximately 1,037.5646 miles per hour (1,037.5646 times 24 equals 24,901.55), or 1,669.8...
Suppose that a satellite is in orbit 250 miles above the equator of the earth.About how much further does the satellite travel in one orbit than would a person traveling once around the equator on the surface of the earth?Round your answer to the nearest integer.The satellite travels about ...

Since bats are nocturnal animals, and have such amazing echolocation skills, their sense of sight isn't that important. Perhaps this is why the myth about their blindness arose. It also may have something to do with the fact that bats, the world's only flying mammals, have long been viewe...
Explain how does the rotation of the Earth makes a body weigh more at the poles than at the equator. Weight at the Surface of the Earth The gravitational force at the surface of the Earth is equal to the weight. This force pulls us down to the surfa...
The U.S. National Atmospheric and Space Administration (NASA) has recorded highs of up to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) around the equator, but such conditions are rare. The planet's average temperature is closer to minus 81 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 60 degrees Celsius). So ...
How Long Is Today? Today is predicted to be 0.8239 ms (milliseconds) or 0.0008239 seconds longer than 24 hours. This is the time it takes Earth to rotate 38.32 cm (15.09 in), as measured at the equator. This means that today lasts: ...
But, given the longest recorded time any human has gone without sleeping is 264 hours, you might want to try driving instead. If, say, you could drive around the equator at a constant speed of 100 mph (160 kph) it’d take you about 250 hours, after which you’d need a long sleep...
In reality, time for Earth to make one full turn (360 °) on its axis is a little shorter than 24 hours and the Earth is flattened at the poles and bulges at the Equator - the figure of the Earth is an oblate spheroid or oblate ellipsoid. Sidereal day vs. Solar day Everybody ...
