How fast does the earth rotate per second?

Question

How fast does the earth rotate per second?

Answer 1

14,000

Answer 2

warp 6.6

Answer 3

The Earth is @ 25000 miles and moves @ 1000 miles / hour. This is 16.6667 miles/min = 0.27778 miles/sec = 1466.67 feet/sec.

Answer 4

The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 25,000 miles. The Earth rotates in about 24 hours. Therefore, if you were to hang above the surface of the Earth at the equator without moving, you would see 25,000 miles pass by in 24 hours, at a speed of 25000/24 or just over 1000 miles per hour.

Multiply by cosine of your latitude to see how fast the Earth is rotating where you are.

Earth is also moving around the Sun at about 67,000 miles per hour.

It's easy to calculate that into seconds.

But I did it for you. The exact speed is 1037.48 mph. Here you go.

1 037.48 mph = 1 669.66221 km/h = 0.463777778 km/s = 463.795059 m/s

Best answer please ;)

Answer 5

134 mp second

Answer 6

^all good answers, but it's important to realize it doesn't matter.  Earth could rotate 5 miles per hour or 50,000 miles per hour, because there is no friction from the space outside the atmosphere, everything (oceans, land AND air) all move along together.

Answer 7

1/ (24*60*60) per second ie revolves once per day on it's axis and revolves once per year around the sun Which is 1/(365*24*60*60) per second

Answer 8

well if the earth has 24 hours and has a 24,000 mile circumferance then its rotating at 1 thousand miles per hour.so in 1 hour there are 60 minutes and in 1 minute there are 60 seconds,so from there i would multiply 60 seconds by 60 to get 3600 seconds in 1 hour.from there i would divide 1000 miles by 3600 to get the answer.that equals about 320 or so metres per second there abouts.

Answer 9

30.55 km per second

Answer 10

6.5 hours per day

Answer 11

The Earth rotates 0.0041780746 degrees per second, or 360 degrees every 23 hours 56 minutes, and 4.091 seconds (on average).

Answer 12

The rate is not constant.  The Air Almanac shows (at the bottom of the daily pages) the predicted rate per hour.
