How to question your science teacher We have all been told that gravity is coursed by the earth spinning at such a great rate that we are sucked down to the earths surface, I was told by my year eight science teacher that if the earth stopped spinning, we would all fly across the room at such a great rate that we would simply splatter against the wall and die. I was also told and have seen footage of men walking on the moon and they are floating because the moon has less gravity than earth because it doesn't spin as fast The formula for the surface speed of the planet is, At the equator, the Earth's surface moves 40,000 kilometers in 24 hours. That is a speed of about 1040 miles/hr (1670 km/hr). This is calculated by dividing the circumference of the Earth at the equator (about 24,900 miles or 40,070 km) by the number of hours in a day (24) this is the scientific and mathematical equation Yet we are actually spinning at the same rate as the big hand on a twenty four hour clock, not very fast is it, if we span any faster we would be like spokey dokeys on a childs bike and we would be spun out into space, so what is gravity Would the men walking on the moon actually be floating about like that, or would they be walking on the surface, the same as you and I do on the surface of the earth, if the moon spins slower than the earth would that mean they would be floating and having giant leaps for man kind, or would they be walking about normally, or would they be really fast, as there is no air or resistance, if there is no gravity on the moon and you hit a golf ball would it be brought back down to the surface or would it launch into space For rain to develop, the water evaporates, the moisture in the air rises up into the atmosphere then cloud mass is formed, this means that the surface area of the planet especially the ocean decreases in mass and physical size, the water then accumulates into larger and larger cloud mass and eventually falls back to earth, and the physical mass of the earth is returned to its normal size, so even if it rained for forty days and forty nights how can you explain that the world could flood, how can the physical mass of the earth suddenly get bigger
