Since the circumference of Earth is about 40,000 km, the calculation is 40,000 km / 24 hours = about 1700 km/h.

Yes they are about 100 kilometers above Earth's surface. Thanks, Jessica
Is it true that charged particles from the solar wind come closest to earth at the equator where earths magnetic field lines dip to earths surface?
t
Most metamorphic processes take place where?
A few Kilometers below earths surface .
Why does earths surface bulge at the equator?
Because the Earth is spinning - at about 1000 miles per hour at the equator.
What is the distance from earths surface to the center of earth?
That's the Earth's radius. It's about 6378 kilometers at the equator. That's 3963 miles.

What layer of the earths atmosphere is closet to earths surface?
The lowest is the troposphere, which is the layer that provides most of our weather. It contains about 80% of the Earth's air, but extends only to a height of about 11 miles (17 kilometers) at the Equator and less at the Poles.

What force holds the atmosphere to earths surface as it travels through space?
Gravity.
Why do the poles receive the less solar energy than the equator does?
Because the middle of the earths surface is the hottest on earth and the equator is right in the middle and the poles is at the end of the earths surfaces
