how fast does the earth rotate when you're at the south pole?

Question

its between 0km/h or 1670 km/h???

Answer 1

the earth rotates at the same speed where ever you stand ( or we would be in a lot of trouble ! ) lol

Answer 2

I've actually BEEN to the South Pole and the you don't notice the rotational speed. The sun makes circles in the sky above the horizon, 1 each day, so that is pretty slow rotation. The fun thing is to take a GPS receiver and run in circles around the pole and watch your longitude go nuts.

Answer 3

Fast enough that you'd better not go there. You're dizzy enough already.

Seriously, you don't notice it. You're moving along with it within it's gravity field. You only get dizzy when you rotate quickly in a way that is not "with" the earth's gravity. Standing on either pole you wouldn't notice it - you would think you're perfectly still.

Would you be afraid of going fast? Because the way to go fast is to head for the equator. There you're really hauling ***...

Answer 4

At the same speed as when you are anywhere else: one revolution per day. The speed of advance of a line of longitude at the south (or north) pole is of course zero.

Answer 5

The angular velocity is the same, no matter where you are. Speed however is 0Km/h.

Answer 6

O km/h as you are standing on the rotation point itself

Answer 7

0 kmph as you'd be at the point of rotation of Earth itself

Answer 8

Need hint?

V = Angular velocity * Radius

Answer 9

it wud have been better if u wuld have not mentioned 0km/hr or 167km/hr
