I wonder what is the case and why. See also youtube.com/watch?v=rztU-jnmcdg for a stunning animation of magnetic directions in the observable universe. | |

Tidal forces are causing the Earth's rotation rate to decrease, but most astronomers agree that the Earth won't cease to rotate until it ceases to exist.

| Jan 11, 2021 at 5:44 | comment | added | knowledgeseeker | Thank you so much for the valuable information. I appreciate it. I have a couple of questions. You don't have to answer them if it is a bother. You said that if the sun disappeared, the earth would still rotate around the galaxy. With the absence of the sun, will the earth stop revolving on its own axis? Also, is there a possible non-extinction force that would make the earth stop revolving on its own axis over time. Thanks. | |
