    Earth's Gravity if the Earth rotated the opposite direction

    So your saying that it doesn't matter what direction the Earth rotates? The magnitude will be the same.

    Earth's Gravity if the Earth rotated the opposite direction

    1. Suppose the Earth rotated in the opposite Direction. How would this effect your weight at the equator. At the North Pole 2. Newtons Gravity Equation and the centrifugal Force Fg = -G*(Me*rhat/r^2) + omega^2*R + Fn [b]3. Since the only thing I can see that will change is the omega...

    Earth's Gravity if the Earth rotated the opposite direction

    I think this is an interesting question and it happens to be a problem I have to solve. If the Earth rotated about its axis at the same rate it does right now how would that affect the gravity at the equator and the north pole? I personally do not think it will change it because I believe...
