The Earth rotates on its axis 360 degrees a day. Since the sun does not shine light around the whole Earth at once, or at different places at the same time (like Britain and Russia) we need time zones. The time zones specify the time of day for the particular region. For example the US crosses 6 time zones. From the earliest time zone, Eastern Standard Time (east coast) to the latest time zone, Alaskan Standard Time; is a difference of 5 hours. Since the US is over 4,000 miles long (Alaska to Maine) , the sun does not shine on the whole US at the same time due to rotation.
Since the Earth rotates constantly and is exposed to the sun in different intervals and time periods, the world needs their own time zone to state when and where the sun rises and sets during the day.

rotation. The swinging motion of the pendulum appears to change over time due to the rotation of the Earth beneath it, demonstrating the Earth's rotation in relation to the pendulum. This phenomenon is known as the Coriolis effect.
It is highly unlikely for the Earth to change its rotation direction spontaneously. Any major change in the Earth's rotation would require a massive external force, such as a catastrophic event, which is not anticipated in the near future.
Rotation: 0.6713 earth days.Revolution: 60,182 earth days.

earths patterns of nature
The rotation of the Earth is called as the spinning of the Earth in its axis.
Gravity!add. But Newton's laws require that energy must be conserved, and the Earth has a particular moment of rotation round the Sun. And indeed as above, this is a combination of the Sun's gravitational attraction, and the Earth's momentum, evenly balanced out.
Another name for Earth rotation is diurnal motion or daily rotation.
No, oil has nothing to do with the earth's rotation.
The spinning of Earth on its axis is known as its rotation. It takes approximately 24 hours for Earth to complete one full rotation. This rotation is what causes day and night to occur.
Not anything of any size that we're capable of building now or in the foreseeable future. But give us time.And it's "nuclear", not "nucular".
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
rotation...rotation.
It provides evidence of the Earth's rotation on its axis.
