📊 Coriolis Effect Formula
F = 2mωv sin(φ)
Where F is Coriolis force, m is mass, ω is Earth's angular velocity, v is velocity, φ is latitude

💡 Tips & Information
- Coriolis effect is strongest at the poles and zero at the equator
- Earth's angular velocity: ω = 7.292 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s
- Deflection is to the right in Northern Hemisphere, left in Southern
- Effect is most noticeable for long-range projectiles and weather systems
- Use positive latitude for Northern Hemisphere, negative for Southern
