Now here's another question I'd like an answer to:
Put some water in a bucket the, holding the bucket by the handle spin around in a circle. The centrifical force keeps the water in the bottom of the bucket.
Now soak a tennis ball in water then place the ball on the table and give it a spin. The spinning motion forces the water off the ball.
So, the earth is more like the tennis ball than like the bucket, so why doesn't everything fly off the earth as it spins?
