At what velocity does planet Earth rotate?

Question

At what velocity does planet Earth rotate?

Answer 1

It depends on what point of the surface you are referring to. At the North Pole it spins in a tiny circle and takes a whole day to do it.

Answer 2

It rotates at an angular velocity of 1 revolution per day.

If you want linear velocity, it depends on your latitude. At the poles, the linear velocity is zero. At the equator, the linear velocity is 1669.72 km/hr.

At other latitudes, the linear velocity is:

cos(lat) * 1669.72 km/hr.

Answer 3

Earth rotates about 1700 km per hour or about 1,056.33 mph at the equator.

Answer 4

circumferance of the earth / 24 hours.
