  • In this video, Anna Spitz demonstrates why planets - including the earth - have a larger equatorial radius than meridional radius.

    Centrifugal force is directed outward at 90 degrees of angle from axis of rotation and so at the equator, the pull outward is directly up and is opposed to gravity. At the poles where gravity also pulls straight down, centrifugal force pulls at the same 90 degrees relative to axis and being at a right angle to the force of gravity is unopposed. So how can water remain at or on the polar regions when unopposed centrifugal forces are pulling the mass of water at a right angle to that of gravity?

      seriously?

      @@felixmeyer8294 Hey, blame Newton. It's not my fault that his laws of force and motion contradict his own cosmology. I guess nobody had noticed it before. Too busy pondering the vastness of the expanding vacuum universe that came from nothing maybe.

      hey the poles are actually stationary...in a rotating object the point which pases through the axis is actually stationary and so is the case with those points on the poles also a slight deviation from that point will result in that so called centrifugal force but now the angle which the gravitational force would make with it wouldn't be equal to 90 degree and therefore it will cancel the centrifugal force

    You mixed up polar and equatorial radius by pointing at the wrong sides while you said them.

    i hate when people use these scientific words like I'm supposed to know what it means 😭😭
