How does the speed of the rotation of the earth dosen’t affect us on a daily basis?
In: Planetary Science
It do have an effect on you, the larger one is the day and night cycle on earth. I would say that affect you on a daily basis.
But you cat detect that you move because you can only feel acceleration not motion. linear motion is equal to being stationary if everything around you move at the same speed. You being inside a airplane on the ground is not different to it it when it flying. You will detect change is motion like from turbulent air but just the linear motion do not matter and you cant detect it excapet for looking out as stuff you move relative to.
The samt location on earth move at a constant rate so it has no effect on us. It is a circular not linear motion so there is a centipedal force on use that is constant in magnitude and direction. The effect on you will be combined with earth gravity. The force from the rotation is the larges on the equator but still only 0.5% of gravity, sto small for you to notice it but easy to detect with in instruments.
There is another indiedce efffect of earth rotation is one of the reason for wind on earth, wether pather and their path depend on earth rotation. So wind, climate and weather do affect you on a daily basis.
