Would the atmosphere spin into space, like, immediately? Or would it take a while?

nothing can happen immediately (max speed is just less than the speed of light) (:

Tell this to my clients.

How much does Santa weigh?
-
Gravity at the North Pole is 9.80665 m/s² Gravity at the equator is 9.77275 m/s² 9.77275 / 9.80665 * x = x - 1 x = 1 / (1 - 9.77275 / 9.80665) ≈ 289 pounds at North Pole https://image.gsfc.nasa.gov/poetry/ask/a11511.html …

Ahhh got it
the equatorial diet. How about the Reindeer? -
Male reindeer lose their antlers in the winter. So Santa's reindeer are female and female reindeer weigh 180-260 pounds. These are rough numbers the change is within rounding error. weightAtEquator = 9.77275 / 9.80665 * weightAtNothPole

P.s. are these data constant ?
-
Sort of. The position of the moon or being in a cave under a mountain change it a little.
-
Beautiful lyrics/poetry (all of it). Ever see it that way?
-
Not really. Also out of curiosity I calculated the moon's effect on gravity on Earth: max change is 0.0000006203 m/s² (+0.0000003047 m/s² to -0.0000003156 m/s²)

Is speeding up the rotation of the Earth and relocating to an equatorial nation a viable plan to achieve a weight loss goal? Asking for a friend.

@ThatcherThorn@_nathankim_ did neil degrasse tyson just use “centrifugal forces” in a sentence? -
I'm calling the space police

Is gravity real

Isn't some of this attributed to the fact Earth is an oblate sphere and someone at the equator is further from Earth's center of gravity? On a non rotating Earth wouldn't Santa weigh more at the poles? (Not factoring in the cooking of Mrs. Claus)
-
Yes. Slightly less than half if I remember correctly.
