Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Earth's rotation causes the equator to bulge?

Yes. Multiple reference sources state that Earth's rotation causes mass to bulge at the equator, producing an oblate shape with a larger equatorial radius. One source explicitly attributes the equatorial bulge to the planet's rotation.
