In the Northern Hemisphere, typhoons spin counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, they spin clockwise. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation.
No, it is highly unlikely that Earth will spin off its axis. The Earth's axial tilt is relatively stable, and any changes in its rotation are gradual and natural. Significant events would be required to cause such a dramatic shift.
A compass is a device that has a magnetized needle that can spin freely and always points towards the Earth's magnetic north.
The time it takes for the Earth to spin on its axis is the circumference of the Earth divided by the spin rate. In this case, 40000 kilometers / 1670 kilometers/hour = approximately 23.95 hours. This means it takes roughly 24 hours for the Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis, which gives us a day.
Yes, hurricanes spin due to the Earth's rotation. In the Northern Hemisphere, hurricanes spin counterclockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they spin clockwise. This spinning motion is known as the Coriolis effect.
At the equator. The spin of the earth is fastest there.
Once every 23h56m. So divide that into the Earth's equatorial circumferencw (look it up) and you have the fastest spinning speed. North and South of the equator the speed is slower, so that at the exact poles there is no spin at all.
no light is the fastest on earth
what does earth spin on besides a inmaginary line? ============== Planet Earth rotates on its axis.
Yes, Earth does spin faster than Mercury.For more details, visit this NASA site:http:/www.nasa.gov/worldbook/mercury_worldbook.html
No, it takes 24 hours for the Earth to spin.
The fastest man on earth is the great Usain Bolt.
No!! peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on earth
Each spin of the earth is called a rotation of the earth on it's axis.
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
The Earth spins on an axis.
