According to Professor Joe Ross from Texas A&M University, nothing. It is a superstitious statement meaning that a broom can stand on it's bristles when all the planets are aligned or because of the Moon's gravitational pull at a full Moon. When these two events occur, it's said to affect the Earth's gravitational force. Prof. Ross states that if those forces could make a broom stand, then why doesn't float?
