Cariolis acceleration? What is it? and got a better answer
Response from
Coriolis acceleration is the acceleration relative to the Earth's surface experienced by any moving body due to the fact that the rotating Earth is not an inertial coordinate system. The Coriolis acceleration is related only to a moving reference frame. The Coriolis acceleration in the Northern Hemisphere is directed to the right with respect to the direction of motion, and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, and is zero at the equator, with its maximum value at the poles; its value does not depend on the direction of motion.

Coriolis acceleration is the acceleration relative to the Earth's surface experienced by any moving body due to the fact that the rotating Earth is not an inertial coordinate system. The Coriolis acceleration is related only to a moving reference frame. The Coriolis acceleration is rightward in the Northern Hemisphere relative to the direction of motion, leftward in the Southern Hemisphere, zero at the equator, and maximal at the poles; its value is independent of the direction of motion.

The nature of the Coriolis force and the corresponding acceleration is usually rather poorly understood. It is not visual! It exists along with the centrifugal force in rotating non-inertial reference systems. The formula is not complicated, but at the beginning of the 5th I'm afraid to lie On the fingers you can explain it this way: a body moving uniformly in an inertial CO, moves accelerated in a rotating CO. After all, relative to it, the velocity vector is spinning!
