Description Saw this on the pavement outside the O2 Arena, London, It's one of a number of quotes/sayings set into the ground.

It looks like if you were standing on the equator of Earth you would move at nearly 1,000 miles/hour (1,600 km/hr). astrosociety.org/edu/publicati…

there were a few more quotes but this one seemed the most interesting! I mean, there I was, standing above the quote, but I'm actually been spun around as I take the photo, and then as I stepped away, I'm sure I felt a little light headed!" LOL

now that's a good question...
....but having googled it it looks like if you were standing on the equator of Earth you would move at nearly 1,000 miles/hour (1,600 km/hr). Sounds crazy! astrosociety.org/edu/publicati…

With a slight wobble, which should make us feel even more dizzy
