If the world rotated backwards what would happen?

Answer 1

If it had started out going in the other direction, I suspect things would be much as they are now, except that the sun would rise in the west, etc. If you are talking about some cataclysmic event that reverses the earth's rotation, this would surely end virtually all life on the planet. At the equator, the earth is spinning at just about 1000 miles per hour. If the spin were changed to 1000 miles per hour in the other direction, the net effect for people and objects, including water, near the equator would be that the earth would suddenly jump away from them at 2000 miles per hour. The observed velocity would diminish as you move to the poles, but would still be fast enough to destroy about everything. What would happen with bodies of water would make the worst tsunamis look like a faint ripple in your fish tank.

Answer 2

If the world suddenly started rotating backwards, there would be catastrophic consequences such as extreme weather patterns, disruption of ecosystems, and changes in gravitational forces. The rotation of the Earth is integral to maintaining the balance necessary for life as we know it, so a sudden reversal would have far-reaching and detrimental effects on our planet.

Answer 3

If the Earth will spin clockwise a.k.a. backwards, the Sun will rise in the West and set in the East. The wind and ocean currents will also be reversed.

Answer 4

if the earth start revolving to opposite direction then we will all die.

Answer 5

It rotates backwards everyday as it rotates about its axis.

Answer 6

Then time on Earth would go backwards instead of forwards.

Answer 7

The sun would appear to rise in the west instead of the east. Nothing else would change much.

Answer 8

give me answer.
