If rotation did not happen one side the earth would stay cold. It would also always be dark outside.

What would earth be like with no rotation?

Without rotation, one side of the Earth would always face the Sun, leading to extreme temperature differences between the two halves. The lack of rotation would also disrupt weather patterns and ocean currents, impacting ecosystems and climate worldwide. Additionally, without the Coriolis effect from Earth's rotation, hurricanes and cyclones would not form as we know them.


If rotation did not occur one side of the earth would always be continually exposed to the?

Sun, causing extreme heat and potentially leading to vast desertification, while the other side would be in perpetual darkness, experiencing freezing temperatures. This would result in extreme climate differences and make it impossible for life to exist on Earth as we know it.


If the direction of rotation of the Earth were reversed and the direction of revolution remained the same would the sidereal day be longer than the solar day?

Yes, if the rotation of the Earth were reversed, the sidereal day (based on the Earth's rotation in relation to distant stars) would be longer than the solar day (based on the Earth's position relative to the Sun), because the Earth would need to rotate slightly further to complete a full rotation in relation to the stars.


How many hours does it take for the moon to make one rotation around earth?

655.72 hours. When talking about one body revolving in orbit around another, the correct term would be revolution, rather than rotation - which is a rotation about its own axis. In the case of the moon, these two actions happen in the same amount of time, giving the effect of the same side of the moon always faces Earth, regardless of its position relative to Earth.


If the earth didn't rotate would the moon rise in the east or west?

If the Earth didn't rotate, the Moon would still rise in the east and set in the west due to its own orbit around the Earth. The apparent movement of the Moon in the sky is primarily due to the Earth's rotation; however, the Moon's motion would still follow its own path regardless of Earth's rotation.

Which observable change would occur in New York state if earth's rate of rotation were one half its present rate?

the length of a day would be longer


Would earth change tilt if stopped spinning?

The "tilt" is related to Earth's axis of rotation; both the axis of rotation and the tilt would be undefined if there were no rotation.


What whould happen if the time of rotation for Earth was different?

The days would be longer, and the gravity would be higher if the rotation time of earth was longer. The days would be shorter, and there would be less gravity on Earth if the rotation time decreased.


Does the moon have a 365-degree rotation?

No, because it revolves around the Earth, always facing the Earth, through a 360 degree arc. On the Moon it would look like the Earth is orbiting the Moon, but if you ignored that, you would see the stars look like they rotate "around" the Moon the same way they do for the Earth. The timing of the rotation of the Earth and the rotation of the Moon are not a factor because both make their 360 degree rotation at their own pace, regardless of the other's period.


Does moon have effect on Earth's rotation?

yes; without the moon earth's rotation would be wobbly and disorganized.

What would be the same if earth rotated and revolved in the opposite direction?

This question reminds the present fact that period of revolution of the moon is the same as its period of rotation around the earth. So it shows only one hemispherical face towards the earth. Same way, Hemispherical part of the earth which faces the sun will always face the sun. So the other hemisphere of the earth will always be in the night mode as it does not receive sun's rays.


How will the Earth rotate without moon?

The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.
