Although the earth is always rotating, but we cannot feel it, if it suddenly stopped rotating, it would be catastrophic, according to "space" website.


What would happen if the Earth stopped rotating?

Almost everyone and everything that is not connected to the planet is expected to continue moving at the current speed of the Earth's rotation, about 1,000 miles per hour as fast as possible, which is along the equator, Andrew Layden, professor of physics and astronomy at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, answered the question of what would happen if the Earth stopped rotating: "The only parts of our planet likely to be less affected would be at or near the poles, which rotate little or not at all."


This could lead to tsunamis and earthquakes, so things would be very bad for the whole Earth, but if the Earth slowed down and stopped gradually, life would still change drastically, and as Andrew explained, it would change the weather dramatically due to the intensity of the rotation.


How much influence does the Earth's magnetic field have?

Scientists believe that the Earth's magnetic field, which protects us from harmful radiation from space, is related to the flow of liquid metal in the outer core of our planet, which generates electric currents and a magnetic field caused by the Earth's rotation, according to Leyden: "Some researchers believe that the loss of Mars' magnetic field in the past contributed to the planet becoming uninhabitable."


Scientists suggest that it is unlikely that the Earth will stop rotating, and since the solar system was formed from a huge disk of debris around the blooming sun, the material that formed the solar system was also rotating.  The matter that formed the solar system was also rotating, which is why most of the planets in the solar system rotate in the same direction.
