Im picturing a stationary object at the equator of the earth, going around in uniform circular motion due to the Earth's rotation. The centripetal acceleration would point directly inwards into the Earth at all points in the circular rotation, and gravity would also point in the same direction.
This is how I am visualizing it. I have read that the accelerations oppose each other, but I cannot picture why.
