I keep seeing things about "what if the Earth suddenly stopped", what I'd love to see is a show like this showing what it would be like if the Earth were to slowly (but still incredibly rapidly in geologic scales, say over a decade) come to a stop. It would be interesting to think of how we would cope with that, given that we wouldn't be immediately wiped out by catastrophic events from a sudden stop.

15:58 That's not why leap years happen. Leap years happen because the year is not 365 days long, but 365.24 days. As that .24 is close to .25, multiply .25 x 4 and you get 1, which is the extra day every 4 years. (That extra 0.01 is dealt with every 400 years. Most people don't know that the year 2000 was special--years ending in "00" are actually not leap years unless it is a multiple of 400. As such, the year 2100 will not be a leap year. The next century leap year will be the year 2400.) As for the 23 hours and 56 minutes: That is the sidereal rotation of Earth--the time it takes for Earth to rotate so that a single point on Earth returns to point to the same stars. Basically, the time it takes for the Earth to actually rotate. Our 24-hour day is the solar rotation of Earth--the time it takes to rotate so that a single point on Earth returns to point to the Sun (aka noon). Those extra four minutes for the Sun to reach solar noon again come from the Earth's orbital movement, as the Earth moves about one degree around the Sun every day, making it take longer.

Trivia: To date, the strongest wind ever recorded on earth due to natural processes was 318 +/- mph. It was measured by a mobile doppler radar attached to the back of a truck. The wind speed was identified to be within an F5 tornado in or around Bridge Creek, OK on 05/03/1999. It is one of the most famous weather events on record. The photos of the damage it did in housing additions that were hit dead-on by the center of the tornado is scary. Nothing left. No debris. No homes. No cars. Just pieces of concrete slab foundations.

I think what he is referring to is Newtons first law that says an object in motion will stay in motion. If you imagine putting water in a big tub and then dragging it with a car slowly speeding up and then you suddenly stop the tub, the water will want to keep going in the direction you were driving. This is basically what will happen in the short term if the world were to stop spinning instantaneously. The atmosphere and water would move incredibly fast relative to the ground hence high winds and tidal waves.

[@cadenh03]

One thing that urked me when it was stated in the video that the Sun caused Venus to spin bavkwards, this is impossible. At the very worst, the sun could slow down a planets rotation to the point that its day is the same length as its year (one side always faces the sun). This is called tidal locking, and this is why the same side of the Moon always faces Earth. The only way to make a planet spin backwards is for it to be hit by an object large enough to reverse its rotation.

[@steffent1556]

That's what's believed to have caused Venus' reverse spin. It seems it's been knocked 180 degrees of its axis. You're right, once tidally locked, a body wouldn't suddenly start up again by the same force that induced tidal locking. One has to simply look at the Moon.

[@adarian]

The nomadic tribe scenario would not work even if people somehow survived the disasters before. To continuously stay in the habitable twilight zone at the equator you would need to travel 68 miles every 24 hours which is how far that twilight area would travel on the surface of the Earth in a 24 hour period at the equator. Even at the latitude of the tropic of Capricorn would be 62 miles a day. Even at the latitude of the arctic circle you would still need to travel 27 miles a day. Just take the circumference of the latitude you are traveling at and divide it by 365 and that is how many miles you would have to travel a day to stay at the same level of shade/light that is survivable. To get to a doable level of travel time in a 24 hour period you would have to be so very close to the poles and would have no dry land.

The Earth has three basic planetary motions. Revolving around the Sun, complicated by the Sun and other Stars circling the Milky Way , etc. , but then the Earth rotates on a axis and then the axial line tilts and rolls around in a third motion . Thus the Sun usually rises in the East , but if the axis of this rotation was to wobble and keel over and tumble , then the Sun may appear to rise in the West, but a conversation of matter and energy would keep the Earth stable , while the three motions continue to vary. It is like a spinning top wobbling around, and like a gyroscope magnetically attached to a rail, spins clockwise on top of the rail but can tumble over to the bottom of the rail , held by the magnetism but yet spinning now counter clockwise with respect to the observer. So the Earth can have an observable time of the Sun standing still, if the Earth is tilting over on it's axis on route to changing it's observed direction of rotation , just like a gyro would do , if you have observed this effect. Rather than stop rotating, the Earth wobbles and tilts over , reversing the appearance of the direction of it's spin, but because the Earth has not really stopped at all, the observer on the Earth may not feel any strange force or sudden calamity of disaster.

It doesn't even matter if we stopped at all or not, we wouldn't feel regardless, just like how we are not feeling the spin right now, gravty is in control around earth, nothing woulf happen apart from a couple climate changes, this episode is cringe.

You are incorrect about the water bulge on the equator. It's not just the water that is bulging. It is the entire planet that bulges on the equator. Yes, the diameter at the equator is about 26 mi wider..... But that doesn't mean that the ocean is 13 mi deeper. EVERYTHING is bulging at the equator including the earth itself

Fun video. You had me with the first jolt. I personally think the inner core would continue spinning and get us up to speed eventually. You covered almost everything but I wondered how stopping the crust of earth would affect the moon? Would it be flung away like a hurler his mace?

[@JamesDuren1]

I think we’d be spinning slower, but that’s true the liquid core would continue to move even if the solid earth layers jolted to a stop

[@chuckdraper7776]

If the earth stopped instantly and you where dead center on the pole I would think you would continue to spin at the same speed... So you should definently notice. But not in the same way

[@robshnob123]

An impact wouldn't even need to happen to stop the spin, a similar size object hurdling by in the opposite direction would significantly reduce speed, if not all together, due to gravitational forces.

[@ethanmac639]

ya but the earth also bulges at the middle! so that means, the land would lower in the middle and bulge a little at the top which would neutralize the poles water level being raised

It wouldn't be the same level of reshaping as the oceans as one is a liquid and one is a solid, more or less.

Would the earth ever really be able to fully stop tho? the moon represents a gravitational force to our planet creating wind, which allows our planet to cool down, pulling the oceans henceforth creating the process of raining, but my point is... doesn't the moon also affect, at least, the speed in which earth rotates? or would it stop as well?

Do “Walt Disney’s Gummi Bears” and please put me in the credits. The Gummi Bears of Gummi Glen are the last of a once great race of Gummis. Regarded by many as a fairytale they are gentle, loveable creatures who want to live in harmony with mankind - but sometimes it's not easy. * A group of reclusive humanoid bears and a few trusted humans explore their lost heritage and prevent their enemies from exploiting it. * Long ago, there was a thriving civilization of small humanoid bears called Gummi Bears. Possessing powerful magic and advanced technology, this race coexisted with humans until the growing rivalry forced the Gummies to flee across the sea, leaving only a small caretaker colony to prepare for a possible return. However, generations passed and the colony forgot their purpose even as human knowledge of the race faded into mere legend. All that changes when the colony meets a boy with a Gummi Bear medallion which unlocks the Great Book of Gummi which reveals lost knowledge of their past. Now the colony has dedicated themselves to the new goal to rediscover their heritage with the help of a few trusted humans while preventing new enemies like Duke Igthorn from exploiting that heritage to their own ends.
