Okay so earth spins 24 hours non-stop everyday. Sure but, what made it spin? It sounds like a stupid question but I have not seen a single person talk about it. If you have gone to middle school you would know that for an object to move you need something that pushes or moves it it needs that energy for an object to move from one place to another. Same with spinning, something needs to make it spin for an object to start spinning. No human can spin such a massive sphere, and there aren't any recorded huge creatures that can move a star. If there was a huge radio active blast that somehow spins a planet, wouldn't other stars or planets start spinning the same way earth does? I understand why it doesn't stop spinning, I just don't understand why it's spinning, how it's spinning, what's the source, what's the original energy? So, you know what I'm trying to say, what is the source of earth spinning?
@markthegoat1117
uh oh
The earth is flat bro
im pretty sure it a gravitational pull
there are other stars that spin but some don't.
If my dumb ahh remembers right
The spinning of the Earth is a result of its formation and the conservation of angular momentum. When the solar system was formed about 4.6 billion years ago, a rotating disk of gas and dust surrounded the young Sun. Over time, this disk began to collapse under its own gravity, causing it to spin faster and flatten into a disk shape. As the material in the disk came together to form the planets, including Earth, the conservation of angular momentum caused them to inherit the rotation of the original disk. Angular momentum is a property of rotating objects and is determined by the mass, shape, and speed of rotation. Once the Earth formed, it began to spin due to the conservation of angular momentum from the rotating disk. As the material came together, the total angular momentum of the system remained constant, but it became concentrated in the spinning Earth. So, the source of Earth's spinning motion is the initial angular momentum inherited from the rotating disk of gas and dust during the formation of the solar system. There was no external force or energy required to make the Earth spin initially. It is important to note that the spinning of the Earth is a natural consequence of its formation and not the result of a specific event like a radioactive blast. While other stars and planets in the universe also spin, their rotation is determined by their own formation processes and initial conditions. The spinning of one celestial body does not directly cause others to spin in the same way. Each object has its own unique history and factors that contribute to its rotation. In summary, the source of Earth's spinning motion is the conservation of angular momentum from the rotating disk of gas and dust during the formation of the solar system.
