  2. Foucault pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault_pendulum

    Spin of a relativistic particle moving in a circular orbit precesses similar to the swing plane of Foucault pendulum. The relativistic velocity space in Minkowski spacetime can be treated as a sphere S 3 in 4-dimensional Euclidean space with imaginary radius and imaginary timelike coordinate.

  3. Earth's rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_rotation

    The tangential speed of Earth's rotation at a point on Earth can be approximated by multiplying the speed at the equator by the cosine of the latitude. [42] For example, the Kennedy Space Center is located at latitude 28.59° N, which yields a speed of: cos(28.59°) × 1,674.4 km/h = 1,470.2 km/h.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_globe

    In the metaverse in Snow Crash, there is a piece of software called Earth made by the Central Intelligence Corporation (CIC). The CIC uses their virtual globe as a user interface for keeping track of all their geospatial data, including maps, architectural plans, weather data, and data from real-time satellite surveillance.

  7. Sidereal time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_time

    Just as the Sun and Moon appear to rise in the east and set in the west due to the rotation of Earth, so do the stars. Both solar time and sidereal time make use of the regularity of Earth's rotation about its polar axis: solar time is reckoned according to the position of the Sun in the sky while sidereal time is based approximately on the ...

    Earth’s inner core, a red-hot ball of iron 1,800 miles below our feet, stopped spinning recently, and it may now be reversing directions, according to an analysis of seismic activity.

  9. Earth orientation parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Orientation_Parameters

    Universal time tracks the Earth's rotation in time, which performs one revolution in about 24 hours. The Earth's rotation is uneven, so UT is not linear with respect to atomic time. It is practically proportional to the sidereal time, which is also a direct measure of Earth rotation. The excess revolution time is called length of day (LOD).
