The 47 pages that link to Earth’s rotation, each with the reason it gives.

• LatitudeRelated: The rotation axis and equatorial plane define the reference geometry for latitude.

• Inertial navigation systemRelated: High-grade systems account for Earth rotation when interpreting gyroscope measurements and navigation-frame motion.

• LongitudeRelated: Differences in local solar time correspond to differences in longitude.

• Earth's orbitRelated: Its combination with orbital motion determines how the Sun's position changes through the year.

• Marine chronometerRelated: A full rotation corresponds to 360 degrees of longitude and 24 hours of time.

• Celestial equatorRelated: Earth’s rotation makes the celestial sphere appear to turn around the celestial poles.

• HorizonRelated: This rotation makes celestial objects appear to cross the horizon.

• SundialRelated: Earth’s rotation makes the Sun appear to move across the sky and shifts the shadow.

• TwilightRelated: It carries locations through twilight each day.

• Earth's axial tiltRelated: The axis of this rotation is the direction whose orientation defines Earth's axial tilt.

• Foucault pendulumRelated: The rotating ground beneath the pendulum produces its changing orientation relative to the floor.

• Midnight sunRelated: Rotation carries the Sun around the sky, but tilt prevents it from setting in polar summer.

• South PoleRelated: The rotational axis defines the geographic South Pole.

• Greenwich Mean TimeRelated: GMT’s solar-time basis follows Earth’s rotation, which is not perfectly uniform.

• SunriseRelated: A location enters daylight as rotation brings the Sun above its horizon.

• Conservation of angular momentumRelated: Changes in atmosphere, oceans, and interior redistribute angular momentum and affect the length of day.

• Solar timeRelated: The Sun’s apparent passage across the sky supplies solar time’s basic daily rhythm.

• SunsetRelated: The rotation carries a location on Earth from facing the Sun to facing away.

• Circumpolar starRelated: It produces the apparent daily circles traced by stars around the celestial pole.

• Tidal accelerationRelated: Tidal transfer to the Moon's orbit gradually slows Earth's spin.

• Prime meridianRelated: Earth’s rotation provides the physical frame used to define meridians.

• Equatorial mountRelated: Its apparent motion of the sky is what the mount’s tracking rotation counters.

• Celestial poleRelated: Astronomical mounts counter this rotation by turning around an axis aimed at a celestial pole.

• Earth's gravity fieldRelated: Rotation both produces centrifugal acceleration and contributes to Earth's equatorial bulge.

• Cardinal directionRelated: The rotation axis establishes the north–south reference used by geographic directions.

• Celestial globeRelated: A globe's apparent daily motion models the sky's motion caused by Earth's rotation.

• Copernican systemRelated: Copernicus assigned the daily apparent rotation of the heavens to Earth’s own spin.

• DayRelated: A rotating Earth creates the recurring cycle underlying solar and sidereal days.

• NightRelated: A location enters night as Earth rotates it away from direct sunlight.

• Altazimuth mountRelated: The mount must continually change its aim to compensate for this apparent motion.

• Figure of the EarthRelated: Rotation produces the equatorial bulge represented by an oblate spheroid.

• Polar orbitRelated: Rotation beneath a polar satellite lets successive passes cover different longitudes.

• Non-inertial reference frameRelated: It makes Earth-fixed frames rotate and produces measurable apparent forces.

• Spherical EarthRelated: Rotation explains the equatorial bulge that makes Earth slightly nonspherical.

• Night skyRelated: It carries observing locations through night and makes celestial objects appear to move westward.

• DaytimeRelated: A location enters daytime as Earth’s rotation turns it toward the Sun.

• East (direction)Related: The rotation makes the Sun appear to move from the eastern sky toward the west.

• MorningRelated: A location enters daylight as Earth's rotation turns it toward the Sun.

• Theory of tidesRelated: Rotation shapes the timing and apparent progression of tidal cycles.
