Do bigger planets spin faster than smaller ones?

The size of the planet doesn't have an effect on how fast a planet spins, therefore the speed to spin is random or has some other factor.


What is the velocity in meters per second of a person at the equator due to the earths rotation?

AnswerAt the equator the earth spins at 0.0005 Meters per second. Here's a bit more data -- you can do the math. ;-)•How fast is the Earth spinning? 0.5 km/sec•How fast is the Earth revolving around the Sun? 30 km/sec •How fast is the Solar System moving around the Milky Way Galaxy? 250 km/sec •How fast is our Milky Way Galaxy moving in the Local Group of galaxies? 300 km/secThe answer is incorrect. If you do the math, then the velocity would be 500m/sec..0005m/s equates to .0000005km/s.


What is the average speed of the earth in its orbit around the sun if it travels 6.28 faster than Pluto whose average speed in its orbit around the sun is 10604 mph and how is it worked out?

The question contains so many errors and misconceptions that it is hard to know where to begin!Pluto is not a planet so it cannot be the farthest planet from anything!Pluto's orbit takes it inside Neptune's, so for at least some of the time there is a planet which is further from the sun.According to Kepler's laws of planetary motions the innermost planets would be expected to travel faster.Pluto's average orbital speed is 10,450 mph while the earth travels at almost 70,000 mph. That is approx 6.4 TIMES as fast, not 6-and-a-bit miles faster!Finally, there is no question which can be answered!The question has since been edited to the one which appears above and bears little resemblance to the original as posted! The answer is simply 10604*6.28 = 66593.12 mph.


How fast is 250 kilometers per second?

Speed is always relative. 250km / sec is very fast however when compared to normal everyday human things. It means that in just 1 second something has travelled 250,000 metres. It helps to think of this relative to something else. The Earth is about 40,000km around the equator. So at this speed you could do a complete lap of our planet in 40,000 / 250 = 160 seconds (2 minutes 40 seconds). As you can see, this speed is fast. However there are things which travel faster than this. Light travels about 1200 times as fast as this! Light could do a lap in about 0.13 seconds.


How fast would you have to go to circle the earth in 2 minutes?

It would depend on how high up you were and what direction you are traveling.
