Question

what would happen if the world span/spun less then 10 mph? and exactly how fast does the earth spin?

Answer 1

That depends on where you are on Earth. At the equator, the earth is spinning the fastest, and the closer you get to the poles, the Earth is spinning slower.

Answer 2

the world spins at a speed of about 1000 miles an hour on its surface.

a speed of just 10 miles an hour would result in severe earthquakes, cause the diameter would decrease for the lack of centrifugal force.

A day would be a hundred times longer, 2400 hours.

As a result the climate would change rapidly extinguishing almost every form of life for excess temperatures on the surface in the sun.
