How fast does the earth rotate
In: Earth Science
The Earth rotates once every day, annual rotation notwithstanding. This puts its angular speed at 1/(24×60) rpm, or 0.00069 rpm.
As for the linear motion of any specific point, that depends on its distance from the equator. At the equator, it moves at 460-some m/s. At the poles, it does not move at any speed.
