Understanding the Earth's Spin Speed Differences at Equator and Poles
The Earth spins faster at the equator, moving at around 1,000 miles per hour, whereas it rotates slower at the poles. The difference in spin speed is significant, but as humans, we cannot directly feel this change. The Earth's rotational speed impacts various phenomena, such as cloud circulation and storm rotation, revealing the effects of the differing spin speeds at different latitudes.
