Question

Kuala Lumpur rotates faster on the earth's axis than london. Give reason.

Answer 1

Answer:

Being "very close" to the "Equator", Kuala Lumpur has to cover more area in one rotation of 24 hours, compared to London, as the area to be covered during rotation is decreased as one approaches towards the pole. This is why "Kuala Lumpur" rotates "faster" on the "earth's axis" than "London".

Answer 2

Answer:

If we compare the location of Kuala Lumpur with London, we will see that Kuala Lumpur is located quite close to the Equator, on the latitude 3.13900 N, compared to London, which is located "far away" from the "Equator", on the latitude 51.50740 N, in the Northern Hemisphere. Being "very close" to the "Equator", Kuala Lumpur has to cover more area in one rotation of 24 hours, compared to London, as the area to be covered during rotation is decreased as one approaches towards the pole. This is why "Kuala Lumpur" rotates "faster" on the "earth's axis" than "London".
