If earth stopped spinning would it loose atmosphere?
No, the atmosphere is held in place by gravity, not centripetal force. If the earth stopped spinning, there would be no coriolis force though. This would stop deflecting the moving air in the atmosphere.
WHICH SIDE the axis of the earth is tilted?
The Earth spins about its axis. That defines the Earth's axis. It is the axis of spin that is tilted. If the Earth were not spinning it would not have an axis.
What happens when the earth stop spinning?
The earth wont stop spinning unless something big hits it - then we would all die from the collision. A counter rotational force is required to stop the earths spin, otherwise it will just go on rotating.
Is the earth gonna stop spinning for 2 weeks?
The Earth won't, actually can't stop spinning in a human timescale.
Can we stop the core of the Earth from spinning?
No. And even if we could, the spinning of the rest of the Earth will quickly make the core spin again.
if earth was not spinning there would be no ____.?
Diurnal cycle
if earth was not spinning there would be no?
Diurnal cycle
Would you stop breathing if the earth stop spinning?
yes
If earth was not spinning there be no?
If the Earth stopped spinning completely, there would be just one day and one night a year. Six months of daylight would be followed by six months of night. ... The spinning of the Earth is also partially responsible for the Earth's magnetic field. No spin means no magnetic field HOPE THAT HELP!
What happens to duration of day when earth stops spinning?
The duration of the day is directly related to Earth's rotation (spinning). If Earth would spin slower, the days would get longer. This is not hypothetical; Earth is indeed spinning slower and slower - although that's not a quick process, but one that has been going on for millions of years. In the hypothetical case that Earth stopped spinning altogether - though this is not likely to happen - the length of a day would be equal to a year; sunrise and sunset would be caused by Earth's movement around the Sun.
If earth stopped spinning would it loose atmosphere?
No, the atmosphere is held in place by gravity, not centripetal force. If the earth stopped spinning, there would be no coriolis force though. This would stop deflecting the moving air in the atmosphere.
The earth is spinning then why are not the people living on the earth spinning?
Because earth is so big that we can't feel it spinning unless you are at the middle of the core.
How does the spinning of Earth affect Earth's water?
Very little as it is spinning at a constant speed. However, the moon does affect the Earth's seas, greatly.
How does the spinning of earth affect the water?
The spinning of the Earth affects the Earth's water by creating currents and winds. The spinning of the earth is necessary to complete the water cycle and establish weather patterns.
What will happen if the earth started rotating faster?
It would effect the earth's electromagnetic field as it is the spinning of the earth's core that creates the field.
WHICH SIDE the axis of the earth is tilted?
The Earth spins about its axis. That defines the Earth's axis. It is the axis of spin that is tilted. If the Earth were not spinning it would not have an axis.
Does the solar system cause earth rotation?
No. Once an object starts spinning it does not need anything to keep it spinning. In fact it would take a force to stop the rotation. Earth has been rotating since it first formed and its angular momentum has kept it spinning.
