Slight correction, latitude, not longitude. The earth’s surface closer to the poles has less distance to travel for any rotation than the surface closer to the equator. As a result the inertial navigation systems of long distance systems must be adjusted. Iirc, this is also the case for artillery firing computations. https://www.oxts.com/blog/going-round-circles-earth-rotation-inertial-navigation/ https://www.oxts.com/blog/going-round-circles-earth-rotation... https://www.britannica.com/science/latitude https://www.britannica.com/science/latitude
