What change would happen if earths rate of rotation were to increase?

Answer 1

If rotation speed increased:
The length of the day would be less than 24 hours; there would be more days in a year,
and more days in a cycle of moon phases.

If revolution speed increased:
The length of the year would be shorter; there would be fewer days in a year and also in each season. The length of the day would become more than 24 hours.

Answer 2

If the amount of time it takes the Earth to rotate once on its axis increases, it would take longer for the day/night cycle to complete. Therefore, days would be longer. This might also affect our magnetic field, and would definitely affect all life on the planet.

Answer 3

Well if the earth sped up it would fly out of orbit into space and we would all die. However if the earth moved closer to the sun it would be able to orbit faster, but obviously if the earth got too close to the sun we would also die.

The earths orbit is an oval, but the formula for centripetal accelerated of an object going in a circle can roughly approximate it. That formula is Centripetal acceleration = the square of the velocity divided by the radius (a=v*v/r). looking at the formula you can see that if the earths velocity went up the radius would have to decrease (move closer to the sun) or the centripetal acceleration would have to be higher, which can't happen because only gravity keeps us in orbit.

Answer 4

By using 4-dimentional calculus, i have concluded that the Jews would own the entire earth and everyone would be their slaves and the asains would be extinct because of calculus and the moon.

Also, the laws of physics would change, newton would come back to life with a hotdog maker to explain the laws of faster moon physics.

Answer 5

If the Earth's velocity around the Sun were to increase while the Sun's gravity and mass remained constant, the Earth's orbit would become more elliptical, leading to greater variability in our weather. "Summer" would occur when the Earth was closest to the Sun, while "winter" all over the world would come when the Earth was farther away.

Answer 6

Actually, the earth moves closer and farther from the sun all the time. The orbit the earth makes is actually elliptical (or more like a oval), not a perfect circle. The Earth's gravitational pull is not affected by changes in distance form the Sun.

However, as you move closer to the Sun the pull of the Sun's gravity on the Earth increases (and the pull of Earth's gravity on the Sun increases). This causes the Sun's component of Earth's oceanic tidal bulge to increase in size. The Ocean tides get higher.

Answer 7

If earth moved closer to the sun (witch probably will most likely not happen) we would all die and suffer of the heat of the sun and also if the earth got closer to the sun earth can most likely melt.

Answer 8

The farther you are from the center of gravity of the earth the less you weigh; there is less gravitational pull.

Answer 9

Then the day would be quite a bit shorter.

Answer 10

No, the gravity would stay the same because the earth still has the same mass. But the gravity would have a slight negative effect fro the pulling force of the sun.
