I understand that water going down the drain in the northern hemisphere swirls down the drain clockwise. In the southern hemisphere it swirls counter clockwise. My question is two part; What direction does it swirl in exactly on the equator or at the point of equalibrium? Does water swirl in limited gravity situations such as a space station? How would its direction be affected by its place in orbit? Thank you.
