Why Earth rotates from West to East in southern hemisphere and East to West in northern hemisphere?? Is this true,if yes then explain please.

How it can happen please give detail informationSei said:I think you're meaning this.
The sky rotates differently if you look to the other sky hemisphere.
It rotates clockwise if you're looking at the northern hemisphere, but it rotates counter-clockwise if you're looking at southern hemisphere.
When you are in the northern hemisphere, the north pole is pointed up, but when you are in the southern hemisphere, the north pole is pointed down. Stand on your head in one hemisphere and the sun will move the same way in the northern hemisphere as in the southern.vishnu kumar said:How it can happen please give detail information
No it isn't true.vishnu kumar said:Why Earth rotates from West to East in southern hemisphere and East to West in northern hemisphere?? Is this true,if yes then explain please.
I'm near the equator.rootone said:No it isn't true.
The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West for both hemispheres, so they must be rotating in the same direction.
Besides, if they rotated in opposite directions what do you imagine would be happening at the equator?
The Earth rotates in opposite directions in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres due to the Coriolis effect. This effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and its shape, which causes objects in the Northern Hemisphere to appear to curve to the right while objects in the Southern Hemisphere appear to curve to the left. This leads to the different directions of rotation in the two hemispheres.
The Earth's rotation plays a significant role in shaping the weather patterns in different hemispheres. The Coriolis effect causes winds and ocean currents to deflect in opposite directions in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, leading to different atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns. This results in different climates and weather conditions in the two hemispheres.
Yes, the Earth's rotation is different at the equator compared to the poles. This is due to the fact that the Earth's circumference is larger at the equator than at the poles, which means that a point on the equator has to travel a greater distance in 24 hours to complete one full rotation. As a result, the rotational speed at the equator is faster than at the poles.
The Earth's rotation affects the length of a day in different hemispheres due to the varying speeds at which different latitudes rotate. The closer a location is to the equator, the faster it rotates, resulting in shorter days. Conversely, locations closer to the poles rotate at a slower rate, leading to longer days. This is why the length of a day varies throughout the year for locations in different hemispheres.
Yes, the Earth's rotation can change over time, although the changes are extremely small and occur over long periods. Factors such as earthquakes, ocean tides, and atmospheric drag can all contribute to minute changes in the Earth's rotation. In addition, the Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down over millions of years due to the tidal forces of the Moon and Sun.
