Earth rotates on its axis everyday. In this, the Earth takes 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds i.e. about 24 hours. Because of this, day and night change. At the same time, the Earth takes 365 days, 6 hours 48 minutes and 45.51 seconds to revolve around the Sun. The weather changes due to this reason. Well, you must have memorized all this in school. But have you ever wondered what would happen if the earth stop rotating like this?
The earth rotates on its axis at a speed of 1000 miles per hour. This is around 1670 kmph. However, we do not realize it. Because we are also moving with him at the same speed. But what will happen when the earth suddenly stops rotating? Wouldn’t it matter to us even then?
What If the earth suddenly stops rotating
According to scientists, if the earth suddenly stops rotating, then there will be a cataclysm. The reason behind this is that the balance of the earth will deteriorate. According to the report , the sudden stoppage of the earth will bring catastrophe. Because, the part of the earth which will be towards the sun, there will be continuous heat. On the other hand, due to non-reaching of the sun’s rays, it will become extremely cold. On the one hand there will always be day, on the other hand the night will never end.
At the same time, the water of the sea will gradually start moving upwards. There will be a lot of stuff going on everywhere. The North and South poles will be submerged in water. The result would be that Canada would be completely underwater in the north. Broadly speaking, the northern plains of Siberia, Asia and Europe, including the United States, Greenland, will be under water. The process of evaporation will also be affected, which will affect humans, animals, forests, land all.
Something similar scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson said during an interview . He told, if the earth stopped rotating, then life on earth would end. Tyson had said, ‘It will be disastrous. We are all moving with the earth of the east. If the earth stops spinning, we will all fall forward. It is believed that in this situation everyone on earth will die. People would be flying out the windows and that would just be a bad day on earth.’
What if the Earth started rotating faster?
Even if the Earth began to spin faster instead of stopping, it would still not be conducive to life. Because, a day which is of 24 hours, it will be reduced. Days and nights will start getting shorter. We will also feel less weight, because the centrifugal force will be faster, which will affect the gravity. Also, there will be a change in the weather as well. Both hemispheres will get less time to warm up.
So it is better that the way it is going on the earth, let it go.
