The primary effect of Earth's rotation is the phenomenon of day and night.
The rotation of the Earth about its axis in an anticlockwise direction (when viewed from over the north pole) gives us the impression that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
Our heavenly view, in particular that of the night sky, likewise reveals a panorama that moves from east to west.
An additional effect is that of spin or roatation placed on weather systems by what is called Coriolis effect . In the Northern Hemisphere, low pressure systems rotate counterclockwise, and high pressure systems rotate clockwise.
In the Southern Hemisphere, it is just the opposite.
The rotation of the Earth also contributes to the shift of the shape of our home planet.
The Earth is not a perfect sphere, but is flattened at the poles and has a bulge around the equator.
Earth's shape has actually been modified by its rotation, and we describe its shape as that of an oblate spheroid.
The rotation of the earth contributes to the magnetic field around our planet that protects us against the sun's harmful radiation and solar storms.
The velocity of the rotation of the Earth has had various effects over time, contributing to climate, ocean depth and currents, and plate tectonics.
