What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for 1 second?
Can you see Earth spinning from space?
Originally Answered: Why can't we see earth spinning from space? The simple answer is that the earth is very large. So large that even though its surface is traveling 1,600 km/h at the equator, it still takes en entire day to complete one rotation. Subsequently, why is space black? Because space is a near-perfect vacuum - meaning it has exceedingly few particles - there's virtually nothing in the space between stars and planets to scatter light to our eyes. And with no light reaching the eyes, they see black.
Correspondingly, what does space smell like?
A succession of astronauts have described the smell as '... a rather pleasant metallic sensation [like] sweet-smelling welding fumes', 'burning metal', 'a distinct odour of ozone, an acrid smell', 'walnuts and brake pads', 'gunpowder' and even 'burnt almond cookie'. Why don't we feel the Earth spinning? But, for the most part, we don't feel the Earth itself spinning because we are held close to the Earth's surface by gravity and the constant speed of rotation. Our planet has been spinning for billions of years and will continue to spin for billions more. This is because nothing in space is stopping us.
Does the Sun move?
Yes, the Sun does move in space. The Sun and the entire Solar System revolve around the center of our own Galaxy - the Milky Way. Does the Earth revolve or rotate? The Earth's axis runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. So the Earth rotates around its axis as it revolves around the sun. It takes the Earth 365 days, or one year, to complete a revolution. Leftover momentum from when planets were forming makes the Earth, and all planets in the solar system, rotate and revolve.
