Are we affected by the earth’s rate of rotation?
Did you know that the Earth rotates more slowly on its axis in March than in September? What do you think happens to the inhabitants of the earth when this happens?

What causes it's rotation speed?

Would be pretty interesting to find out whether time slows down or anything around this time, but we as humans don’t notice it, or anything like that… and maybe it’s something we’ll never find out! :p
I do agree with Oliver. This is really a new fact to me about how earth rotation slows down in March and September. I have not noticed the time variation or anything in these months. I don’t think scientists have come up with any answer for this question as of now.
Isnt this why we have seasons? Or is that because of the tilt in the earth’s axis?? sorry got confused!
Of course we are! We are not separated from the earth and its movements we are part of it. Sure we do not feel slowing down, but it is all interconnected. Scientists have been telling us that the earth has been slowing for billions of years. This is due to the axis losing kinetic energy. This due to a range of frictions. Further evidence that we me look after are planet we call home. Lets clean up our backyard.
