Nope, equator is best because earths rotation is faster there.
1 u/ExpertEar699 4d ago Oh that too I didn't knew that Will learn that later this year it's a chapter called gravitation we will havebto calculate everything in that 0 u/thepkizzle 4d ago The difference between Everest and Florida rotationally is .6%, and their relative height difference is .1%. If we launched from Brazil it would be .07% relatively the same height as Everest but 13% faster than either Florida, or Everest. You are wrong. It is height, not rotation that we launch near the equator. Rotation just helps.
