Earth's Concealed Gravity!

The rotation of Earth, or its spin, refers to the movement of our planet around its own axis, along with the shifts in the orientation of this axis in space. Earth rotates in an eastward direction, exhibiting prograde motion. When observed from the northern star Polaris, the planet spins counterclockwise.
A vibrant representation of Earth's gravity is typically illustrated through a gravity anomaly map, which highlights the variations in Earth's gravitational field. These maps often reveal differences in gravity influenced by factors such as geological structures, topography, and the Earth's shape (which is not a perfect sphere but slightly flattened at the poles).download (17).webp
