000 miles around at the equator, so at the equator, youd have a velocity of only 1000 MPH., (less anywhwrere else).Thats nowhere near escape velocity is it?......
The Earth turns once in 24 Hours.
It's about 24,000 miles around at the equator, so at the equator, you'd
have a velocity of only 1000 MPH., (less anywhwrere else).
That's nowhere near escape velocity is it?
We wouldn't fly out into space because of gravity keeping us down. And the earth is so big that we can't feel it spin so we wouldn't be able to feel the stop but we would know we stopped because we would have one long day and night for a year.
Gravity has nothing to do with the Earth's rotation. It is a fundamental property of all matter, whether it's spinning or not. If anything, our weight is slightly reduced at the equator because of the Earth's spin.
It would never happen.... Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked the earth so hard it started to spin...... And it will never stop
Earth's spin is not what holds us on its surface. What keeps us on the surface is gravity, and that's not effected by spin.
