I wonder why we can't stop the earth from spinning?
The only way to stop earth rotation is to lose the angular momentum it has. It would take millions of years to naturally stop the Earth's rotation. Practically, this case is not possible as earth is present in absolute vacuum and there is no way that something would provide any friction or force to reduce its momentum. Before this time comes Earth would've already been engulfed or say vapourised by our sun as it would have also been then transformed into a red giant. A way to quickly try to stop earth rotation is we need to apply a massive external force but there is no way earth would stop spinning even after applying any external force as it would only increase or decrease the rate at which it is spinning. So earth will keep spinning infinitely.

From this, I have learned that the earth will not stop spinning ever. Even if you try to stop with external force you still won't be able to stop the earth from spinning.
ReplyDeleteCool story bro! I have learned that the only way to stop earths rotation is to the angular momentum it has......COOL
ReplyDeleteFrom your post I have learned that it's impossible to stop the Earth from spinning even if you apply an external force. I wonder if you drill down to Earth's crust and then apply a massive external force, will it stop the Earth from spinning?
ReplyDeleteFrom this post I learnt that the earth will not stop spinning. Now, I wonder if someone will find a way to stop the earth from spinning
