The earth is a globe.A point on the equator completes one circle in 24 (roundly). As we move towards the axis of rotation at the pole in a strait line from any point on the equator , the speed of ratation should be progressivley reducing in such a manner , that it should be zeero at the center of the axis of rotation. The earth being a solid , compact mass , if there is such a fixed point at the axis that does not rotate , the earth itself would not rotate. But the earth rotates and there is no real fixed axis running through its center . What happened to the spot where the speed should necessarily be zeero ? A real fixed point at the pole will not allow the earth to rotate .How can we reconcile this position?
