The Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours and this rotation is responsible for the cycle of day and night. Let's imagine a city located exactly on the Equator. If you are standing at that location and you want to calculate the distance you would travel due to Earth's rotation in one day, considering the Earth's equatorial radius is 6,371 kilometers, how would you calculate this distance?

The distance you would travel due to Earth's rotation in one day if you were standing at a location exactly on the Equator is 12,742 kilometers.

The distance you would travel due to Earth's rotation in one day if you were standing at a location exactly on the Equator is 80,060 kilometers.

The distance you would travel due to Earth's rotation in one day if you were standing at a location exactly on the Equator is 31,415 kilometers.

The distance you would travel due to Earth's rotation in one day if you were standing at a location exactly on the Equator is 20,015 kilometers.

The distance you would travel due to Earth's rotation in one day if you were standing at a location exactly on the Equator is 40,030 kilometers.
