What would happen if the earths rate of rotation decreased what would increase?
The length of the day
What change would occur if the earths rotation significantly decreased?
The length of a day would increase and the number days in a year would decrease.
What planet length in day is close to the length of earths day?
Mars.
How do earths movements affect the length of the year?
Time zones are related to the earths rotation because the sun hits the earth at different times thus making the sun set and rise and the same time Ex: Chicago and Denver Colorado have different time zones but if the sun sets at 7:00 in Chicago you want it to be at the same time (7:00) in Denver. Even though we know that the sun cant hit the whole world with the same amount of energy at the same time.

What effect have tides had on the length of a day?
The tides are slowing the earths rotation and making the day longer.

How does earths rotation causes shadows to change length and position?
As the earth rotates the angle if the sunlight changes which affects shadows.
What is the length of earths rotation?
'Length' of time = 23hours 56minutes 4seconds (rounded) 'Distance' . . . . . Any point on Earth moves in a circular path during each rotation, roughly 24,900 times (cosine of its latitude) miles
Do tsunamis really make the days longer?
The days may feel longer after a tsunami but no, the length of the day depends on the earths rotation not tsunamis.
What change would occur if the earths rotation significantly decreased?
The length of a day would increase and the number days in a year would decrease.
What does it mean when you say the earths length of rotation is 1 day?
it means that the earth will travel one spot and back to that same spot in 1 day
How does the planets distance from the sun affect the length of a day?
Not at all. The planet's daily rotation is independent of its distance from the Sun.
What is the length of rotation of the earth's moon?
the length of the moon's rotation is 27.3 days (about 1 month)
What is the length of Saturn's rotation on its axis?
The length of Saturn's rotation on its axis is about ten and a half hours.
