Give reasons for each of the following :The speed of the rotation of the earth is greater at the Equator than at the Arctic Circle.

Answer»

As every part of the earth takes a frill round within 24 hours, the equator being the largest circle of latitude 0°, the speed is greatest at the equator due to crossing the maximum distance per hour. i.e. it is 1660 km per hour, while it decreases to 0° at poles.
