is the earth spinning faster or slower
Every six years, Earth spins slightly faster and then slower. Cyclic changes in day length overlie decades-long trends. The world turns slightly faster and slower on a regular 5.9-year cycle, a new study suggests. Researchers also found small speed changes that happen at the same time as sudden alterations in Earthâs magnetic field.
The earth spins around at the equator at a speed of roughly 900 miles per hour. 360degrees/24hours x 60 miles/degree = 900 Miles /hour. Also, with a circumference of 24,000 â¦ miles covered in 24 hours yields 1,000 miles per hour.
