What If Earth’s Rotation Suddenly Stopped!

What If Earth’s Rotation Suddenly Stopped!

As is well known, our blue home planet needs 24 hours to rotate once around its own axis. A complete revolution around the sun takes about 365 days. The natural laws of rotation that the Earth follows have a direct influence on our daily lives. Accordingly, the planet’s own rotation gives us a fixed day-night rhythm, while the journey around the sun creates the different seasons on our globe. In view of the natural constellations and the resulting effects in our solar system, an exciting thought experiment is becomes pertinent: What would actually happen if the Earth’s rotation suddenly stopped? We would like to explore this exciting question together with you in today’s video.
