The rate at which the lit portion of the moon moves per hour changes with latitude. The formula for finding the average rate of rotation per hour is: 15°cos(latitude). At the equator the equation would be 15°cos(0°)= 15° per hour.
The rotational surface speed at the equator is approximately 1000 mph
The length of day & night are exactly 12 hours each. This never changes.
About 15 degrees per hour but depends on location and time of year. Most true on equator at equinoxes
Really? ... 8 MILES PER HOUR! The would travel EIGHT MILES IN AN HOUR!
It would take 353
the equator
At the equator you would have to be travelling at about 2,083 miles per hour.
Assuming a speed of 1670 kilometers per hour (the approximate speed at which Earth rotates at the equator), one full turn around the equator would take approximately 24 hours.
The earth's circumference at the Equator is 24,902 miles. It makes a complete rotation in 24 hours, so divide the Equator's length by 24. The answer is that, at the Equator, the Earth rotates at 1,037 miles per hour.
because of the moons phases
The Earth's greatest speed of rotation occurs at the equator, where it moves at a speed of about 1670 kilometers per hour (1037 miles per hour) due to the larger circumference at the equator compared to the poles.
Because the equator is closer to the sun year round
The Earth spins approximately 1,000 miles per hour at the equator. This speed decreases as you move closer to the poles.
