Original Note:
Earth’s oceans and water sources remain on Earth because the force of gravity acting upon them is considerably stronger than the Earth’s rotational (and therefore centrifugal) force. Gravity at the equator: ~9.8m/s^2 Centrifugal force at the equator: 0.033m/^2 https://geo.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Meteorology_and_Climate_Science/Book%3A_Fundamentals_of_Atmospheric_Science_(Brune)/10%3A_Dynamics_-_Forces/10.05%3A_Effects_of_Earth%E2%80%99s_Rotation-_Apparent_Forces#:~:text=The%20centrifugal%20force%20at%20the,the%20equator%20and%20the%20poles.
