No, the atmosphere is held in place by gravity, not centripetal force. If the earth stopped spinning, there would be no coriolis force though. This would stop deflecting the moving air in the atmosphere.

Which layer of earth is made up of loose rocks and soil?

The layer of Earth made up of loose rocks and soil is the Earth's crust. It is the outermost layer of the Earth and is where most geological activity, such as earthquakes and mountain-building, occurs.


What is the origin of meteorites?

Meteorites originate as asteroids from space. They are loose rocks that have been formed in the pre-planetary era or have been chipped off of a larger body such as a planet or moon by impact. When they encounter Earth's atmosphere they become meteroids, when they light up due to friction they become meteors, when they impact Earth's surface, they are meteorites.


What if your tablet pen stopped working what happened?

If your tablet pen stopped working, it could be due to a dead battery, a loose connection, or a malfunction in the pen itself. Try replacing the battery, reconnecting the pen, or troubleshooting the pen with the device's manufacturer for further assistance.


If earth's gravitational field collapses for a few seconds then what worst or best can happen?

I am assuming that you meant 'If Earth's magnetic field collapsed for a few seconds' If that's the case then nothing much would happen here on Earth. But if it collapsed for a long time, the Earth would loose it's atmosphere and every living thing on Earth would die. If you are really asking what would happen if the Earth's gravitational field collapsed, then we would be floating around in the air and then come, hopefully, back gently on land again.

Why has my ceiling fan stopped spinning?

Your ceiling fan may have stopped spinning due to a faulty motor, a broken fan blade, a loose connection, or a problem with the fan's capacitor. It is recommended to check these components and consult a professional if needed to diagnose and fix the issue.


What holds the earth atmosphere?

Gravity hold the atmosphere to the Earth. But other factors do cause earth to loose some atmosphere to space continuously.


Can earth loose atmosphere when magnetic field changes?

Yes, Earth's atmosphere can be affected by changes in the magnetic field. A weakening of the magnetic field could potentially make Earth more vulnerable to solar winds, which can lead to loss of atmospheric gases over time. However, Earth's atmosphere is held in place by gravity as well, so any loss would likely occur over millions of years and not immediately.


What holds the atmosphere to the earth?

The earths gravity. The more mass a body has, the more gravity, The Earth has enough mass to hold an atmosphere. The Moon, on the other hand, is not massive enough, and so does not have a high enough gravity, which prevents it from holding an atmosphere.


What started thew earth spinning?

Gravity. When the earth started to coagulate from a loose pile of asteroids, it gained little rotation. But it gained most of its rotational energy when a planet the size of mars hit it (Also forming the moon.) Other planets gain their spins from billlions of years of spinning around the sun (in theory)


Your 97 Tahoe stopped running as you were driving down the road why?

How to fix spinning PVC door handle?

If your PVC door handle is spinning, you will have to replace the handle. The bar inside is likely loose and just spinning since it is not getting a grip. There are easy to replace.


If the earth is spinning why isn't that is loose get thrown around?

Gravity. The rotational or "centripedal" force that causes things to fly off of a merry-go-round or a top are more-than-counteracted by the attraction of gravity.


Why does my spinning reel handle keep coming loose?

Your spinning reel handle may be coming loose due to wear and tear on the screw or handle itself. It could also be caused by improper installation or not tightening the handle securely enough. Regular maintenance and checking the handle's tightness can help prevent it from coming loose.


How are meteorites made?

Loose space rocks that have been produced through impact with planets or moons or are left-over from the pre-planetary solar system get caught in Earth's gravitational pull and are subsequently accreted. Rocks in space that have not yet entered Earth's atmosphere are called asteroids, when they enter Earth's atmosphere they are meteoroids, when they light up due to friction they are meteors, and when they impact Earth's surface, they are meteorites.


What gas is the atmosphere?

The atmosphere consists of about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% of loose particles (dust).
