Obviously you could slow or increase the earths rotation to alter the length of the day. But of course this would cause very severe climate changes and I'm sure whatever you used to change the rotation would be bad for the environment too. Furthermore there really wouldn't be much to gain from this since humans have naturally evolved to a 24 hour day. But yes it would be possible to alter it.

No way. It is humanly impossible to slow or increase the rotation of the earth because we dont have the ability to do so.

Why are days and nights not equal on the earth?

because earth is rotating and revolving


What if the earth is not rotating on its axis?

Then the world would have no days or nights. We would just be either day or night depending on when the earth stopped rotating on it axis.


If the earth were to stop rotating on its axis and stop revolving around the Sun how many days would it take for the earth to crash into the Sun?

10 days


Is the moon rotating faster than earth?

No. The moon rotates much slower than Earth. Earth completes a rotation once every days. The moon completes a rotation once every 27 days.


Do we have days and nights because the sun orbits the earth?

No. (But if you like that idea, go read Terry Pratchett.)


Why there are days and night?

There are days and nights because the Earth spins. It takes the Earth 24 hours to make one complete rotation. The part of the Earth that is away from the sun while it is rotating, has its night. The part of the Earth that is facing the sun during rotation, has its day.


Is Earth's day longer than Pluto's day?

No. The day on slowly-rotating Pluto is about 6.4 Earth days long.


Can eclipses last as long as 5 days?

on earth, no.other planets, possibly.Add. If there were slowly rotating binary stars, one may have such an event.


It takes about how many days for the sun to rotate near its equator?

It takes the Earth exactly 365 days to fully rotate the sun. Witch is the same amount as a whole year.


How much days does the moon orbit the earth?

The moon orbits the Earth approximately once every 27.3 days. This period is known as the sidereal month, which is the time it takes for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth with respect to the fixed stars.


How does the earth spin round but stay in the same place?

Actually, it is moving. It is orbiting around the sun. It is both rotating on its axis and simultaneously making its trajectory around the sun. It takes 365 days for the earth to orbit the sun.


What is a result of an increase in the earth's rotation rate?

An increase in the Earth's rotation rate would result in shorter days and faster sunsets. This could potentially impact weather patterns and ocean currents due to changes in the Coriolis effect. Additionally, it may have subtle effects on the Earth's gravitational field.
