Video suggestion: What if the earth started spinning vertically? As in, the axis of the earth are at the equator.

[@andir7374]

First of all, wouldnt really make sense physically, because the rotation of planets is in line with their rotation around the sun. Second of all life on earth wouldnt be possible anymore, because the side facing the sun would be extremly hot and the rest extremly cold

[@jadecoolness101]

​@@andir7374 The rotation of the planets is not necessarily in line with them rotating around the sun. Uranus rotates at 97 degrees, with one of the poles facing the sun. Life would be possible along the border between the light and dark hemisphere in this case. Or, if the planet rotated sideways in such a way where we still had days, we largely wouldn't see much change if it continues to rotate its axis to be parallel to the sun.

[@WinVisten]

@@andir7374 Yeah, it would be very similar to a tidally locked planet.

[@katherinegarlock2249]

@@andir7374 The moon plays more of a role in our axis than the sun does. Also, the world would still be rotating, the sun would just go north/south instead of east/west. The main thing that would change would be ocean currents, just like in this video.

Imagine how the tides would be if earth started rotating like that

[@TheMihirj]

I don't think that much effect will be there since they are dependent on the position of earth wrt moon and sun

[@hkr667]

I can possibly imagine the tides would either slow down or speed up. I have no explanation though, just a hunch.

[@Refty]

The Earths tilt and rotation is affected by the moon. If the moon didn't get its orbit reversed the Earth's tilt and rotation speed would likely be messed up badly. I think it may be possible that we would lose the moon. Someone who is more knowledgeable about tidal forces may be able to leave a comment explaining exactly what the effects would be better then I can.

[@arthas640]

the tides are dependant much more on temperature differences and from gravitational pull of the moon more than the rotation of the planet, so they would likely change quite a bit but that depends more on what happens to the moon. If the moon where to keep doing its normal moon thing, tides wouldnt change drastically but currents likely would due to temperature changes.

[@musafawundu6718]

Minimal differences.

If this happened, I believe the Amazon would disappear almost entirely, as winds carry currently carry sand and minerals to South America from the Sahara. With the winds shifted and the Sahara gone, the Amazon would slowly wither away from lack of nutrients.

I grew up with a lot of smart Polish kids . So on one occasion our teacher was spinning a globe in front of us and one of my very intelligent friends, had to remind the teacher that she was spinning the globe in the wrong direction . That it rotated the other way. He was correct and she fixed her mistake and began spinning the globe in the proper direction. We were in 4 or 5 th grade I believe

0:52 It took less than a minute for this mistake. The Earth will not stop spinning. All things in space spin, including planetary bodies that are tidally locked. It's a law of physics. There is no friction to stop the spinning. The pull of the moon is what slows down the Earth's rotation, but the moon is slowly moving away from the Earth. Once the moon is far enough off, there is a chance the Earth's rotation will actually increase.
