The rotation of the Earth on its axis is called daily or rotational speed. The earth completes one rotation by rotation of on its axis in 24 hours. The rotation of earth night. This motion of the Earth is from west to east. On the side of the Earth facing the Sun, there is east day and on the other part. Due to the rotation of the Earth from west to east, Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

Because of the spinning of Earth from west to east, the direction of the spinning of all the constellations and stars remains from east to west direction. Due to this motion of the Earth, there is more protuberance in the equatorial region and on the equator on poles. Apart from this, there is a change in the direction of wind and ocean currents due to this speed. This rotation of the Earth is at approximately 1600 km per hour, at 45° north and south latitude, it is 1,120 km/hr and at poles it becomes almost zero.
