Gday all,
I was just wondering if we would experience a (very small) centrifugal force due to the Earth's rotation around the sun or not. I don't think there would be because the Earth and everything on it is in a state of free fall around the sun, but I have been told there would be a centrifugal force (due to orbit, not rotation).
Who is correct?
Thanks
