Question

2. Points on the Equator are a few kilometres more distant from the Earth than the poles
3. Rotation causes days and nights.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Points on the equator are moving in a circle more than 1,600 km/hour. ... The distance to the center of the Earth from the equator is 6,378 km or 3,963 miles. And the distance to the center of the Earth from the poles is only 6,356 km or 3,949 miles.

2. Earth rotates on its axis; this causes us to experience day and night. But Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees (the angle is measured between Earth's equatorial plane and the plane in which it orbits our Sun).
