Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Since childhood we are told that the Earth rotates. Because it turns out day and night until the day changes.
But what happens when the Earth stops rotating? One of the impacts can be felt directly by humans on this planet.
Those of you who habitually walk on the earth will begin to be launched into the air. According to Newton’s first law of inertia, humans would fly east at a speed of 1,040 miles per hour.
After being thrown, you will land but it won’t be smooth. You will collide with land and water that can kill you.
Not all humans will experience the same impact. Those living in Antarctica will survive and suffer few bruises because the axis of rotation is much smaller.
However, as they move away from the polar region, for example to latitude 89.9 degrees, they will feel a gradual change in momentum. Those living in Denmark or Australia will not survive.
Worse, humans living far from the poles will be launched and flying at hundreds of miles per hour.
The oceans will also be turbulent. Likewise, buildings and plants will be affected when the Earth stops rotating.
“Earth materials are strong when compressed but weak under pressure,” said Joseph Levy, professor of Earth and environmental geosciences at Colgate University, quoted by Scientific notice, Thursday (28/12/2023).
Stopping the earth’s rotation will also impact day and night conditions. Usually the transition from day to night occurs within 12 hours.
But when it stops rotating, some planets will experience an infinite night. Lack of sunlight will kill many plants and freeze water.
Likewise, there are parts of the planet that are directly exposed to the Sun for six months. Sunlight will burn the plants and evaporate the water.
