Would there be Coriolis Effect on a cylindrical planet with no tilt that orbits a star just like Earth does?
No
Coriolis force is basically kinematic due to motion in a rotating coordinate system. It might better be called Coriolis "effect".
One way to look at it is imagine you are a hurricane off Cape Cod sucking air up from the equator. As the air moves north from the equator toward the core, it is still moving east at the same speed as a point on the equator due to the earth spin angular velocity times the earth radius from the axis of rotation. However as it moves north it keeps that big east velocity even as the surface moves slower due to being closer to the axis of rotation. That means that north moving air ends up east of the hurricane core. Air coming from the North of course ends up west of the core. That is a counterclockwise rotation of air around the core.
If the planet were a cylinder, there would be no such effect because the radius would not change as you moved north or south from the equator..
Yes, there would still be a Coriolis effect on a cylindrical planet with no tilt that orbits a star similarly to Earth. The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of a planet and the movement of an object relative to that rotation.
To understand why there would still be a Coriolis effect on such a planet, you can use the following steps:
1. Start by understanding the Coriolis effect on Earth. On our planet, the Coriolis effect is caused by the Earth's rotation. As an object moves over the Earth's surface, it is deflected to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere) or to the left (in the Southern Hemisphere).
2. The Coriolis effect is directly related to the rotation of the planet. Even though a cylindrical planet lacks a tilt, it can still rotate around its axis. As long as there is rotation, the Coriolis effect will exist.
3. On a cylindrical planet, the Coriolis effect would be consistent and not vary with latitude. This is because there is no tilt to introduce variations in the Coriolis force like on Earth.
4. The direction of deflection due to the Coriolis effect would depend on the direction of travel. If an object moves towards the rotational axis, it would be deflected toward the axis. If it moves away from the rotational axis, it would be deflected away from the axis. The magnitude of the deflection would depend on the object's velocity and distance from the axis.
In conclusion, a cylindrical planet without a tilt but with rotation would still exhibit a consistent Coriolis effect. Objects moving on this planet would experience a deflection due to the planet's rotation, similar to how it occurs on Earth.
