No, unless something makes it stop. It would take a tremendous amount of energy to make the rotation stop and then start again.

There is a law of conservation of rotational momentum; a rotating object like the Earth can't simply stop rotating by itself, it would require an outside force to do that.

Why ac fan moving onedirectiononly?

to save energy. if it alternated between the directions it needed more energy to stop rotating in one and start rotating in the other, while one direction only needs energy to keep rotating (not much).


Launching rocket at orbital velocity from earth makes the satellite balanced. but how it is keep on revolving the earth even vacuum also have resistance why it does not stop the rotation?

it never stop rotating cus of the earth's gravity. it just the same as moon rotating around the earth. Another Answer: Orbital velocity is just that (among others). The amount of force needed to to achieve a "Free Fall" state. The satellite is actually falling back to Earth in this state and would crash back into it except for one thing. For every foot the satellite falls toward the Earth, the Earth moves a foot out of the way.

What will happen if earth does not have north and south pole?

To not have geographic poles, the earth would have to stop rotating. Then one day would last a whole year long.To not have magnetic poles the earth's magnetic field would have to disappear. This would subject the planet's surface to the solar winds and cosmic radiation.AnswerAs the earth is NOT going to stop spinning, they'd still be there; you'd simply know them by some other names.
