@uhoh I was commenting on last paragraph of this answer, which talks about speed. Speed is a layman term for throughput, not latency.

@guest4308, I find the clause about undersea cables highly suspicious. There is no way for a radio or laser channel to be anywhere near efficient as a dedicated fiber. Also, Stalink uses those cables for ground stations.

@LawnHollanderLawn they have a large fleet. Are you implying they would have difficulty serving polar regions?

The question was about angular velocity, though?

@MikeB, heh, I've added drag and wind effects. Thanks for the reminder!

@MikeB this is a Space Exploration site. Math questions are on topic, but serve as a tool, not a goal. Spherical planet in a perfect vacuum is for math.stackexchange.com

@SpehroPefhany good job pointing that out. Negligible for typical (because gravimetry instruments do detect the variation but are not deployed on most satellites), man-made (because the effect is obvious only on geological time-frames) and a planet (because planets are by definition form a spherical homogenous body due to gravity). Not sure about polar orbit around a geoid though.

Why can't they mold seat to a person in an EVA suite?
