How Fast Is Earth Spinning?

At the equator, Earth is rotating on its axis at a speed of about 1,600 kph (~1000 mph). That’s around 450 meters per second (~1500 feet per second)!

If you stood on the north or south pole would you pirouette

and for the flurfers that think things should be flying off the planet, you have to do around 17 thousand miles an hour, just to maintain an orbit, and not fall back onto the Earth.

.38 feet per second at a mile from a pole

Why do objects you can see in the sky remain in the same place?

[cadstol]

If the earth is spinning 1000mph, why the sun and the moon still up there? That means the earth is not spinning.. man!

Nonsense the earth doesn't move, how can something move so fast and you not feel it 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾

Earth don’t spin that fast it takes 365 to do a full rotation
