how to prove that the planet is rotating?

Answer 1

doesn't day and night prove it?

Answer 2

Watch the sky, the stars will move across the sky over the course of the night, and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

There are many more scientific ways to prove it that require complex mathematics or instruments but this should prove it on an individual scale.

Answer 3

like ence said, my local library has a clock like that. THe pendulum hangs from a connection 4 stories up and will trigger lights to light up so you can see the time. This is because the pendulum moves in one direction because it is not acted on by an outside force perpendicular to its motion. The pendulum moves in the same plane as the earth rotates.

Answer 4

One way is no set a pendulum swinging with a frictionless connection to the ceiling (although a true frictionless connection is impossible one of very low friction can be made). As the earth rotates the pendulum will continue to swing in its original direction, thus it will appear to be swinging in a different direction in relation to the room over a given time interval.

Answer 5

.

Keep track of the motion path of stars in the night sky, or notice the motion of the sun in the day across the sky. After taking into account our orbit around the sun and Earths own trajectory through the planetary system, Both indicate Earth's rotational movement.

Answer 6

Foucault Pendulum and the Coriolis Effect

Answer 7

Take Any object in your hand, extend your arm and release the object if it falls to the ground the planets spinning,and if it doesn't were all in trouble.......

Answer 8

I thought our planet was stationary, and the universe spins???

Answer 9

spin around like crazy

Answer 10

the sun doesn't move.
