We might not ever think about it but the Earth rotates at around 1,100 miles per hour (1,670 km/h).
Michael Stevens, also known as Vsauce is set out to answer the question ‘what if earth stopped rotating?’ through his new video. Michael Stevens is a London based scientist. He has outlined the devastating impact that a sudden halt to the Earth’s rotation would have on life.The atmosphere would still be in motion if the Earth stopped spinning suddenly. And the motion would be with the Earth’s original 1,100 mile per hour rotation speed at the equator. He even describes that most of the people would have a very horrific de@!th.
He explained, ‘Immediately everything that wasn’t on Earth and wasn’t safely at the poles would continue to moving as it had. It would be flung due east at 1000 mp. Your body would immediately become a 9 inch caliber bullet. Gusts of wind as fast as those near an atomic bomb detonation would blast past the surface and up into the sky forming worldwide storms of unprecedented magnitude. The friction alone, caused by the now stopped Earth colliding with these winds would be enough to cause massive fires and unparalleled erosion’.Meanwhile we would be dosed with deadly amounts of ionizing radiation as the Earth’s magnetic field would cease to exist. As the current rotational velocity causes the Earth to bulge out around its equator, after stopping to rotate, the Earth would become an almost perfect sphere.The oceans are held out at the equator by 5 miles because of the Earth’s bulge in the center and the world’s oceans would redistribute on a perfect sphere Earth. This would result in flooding of many areas of the planet with a huge volume of water.
