How much has the speed of Earth's rotation reduced so far?We all know that the Earth also rotates on its axis. It takes 24 hours for the Earth to rotate. This is why a day on Earth is 24 hours. But do you know that in the coming time, a day may be 25 hours instead of 24. Yes, according to many reports, the speed of Earth's rotation is already decreasing. But do you know what effect this will have on the Earth? Today we will tell you the reason behind it.Earth's rotation speedThe Earth revolves around the sun and it completes one revolution in 365 days. We all know this, but very few people know at what speed the Earth rotates? Today we will answer this. According to Space.com, the Earth revolves around the sun at a speed of 67,100 miles per hour. If any data is understood in km per second, then the Earth revolves around the sun at a speed of 30 kilometers per second.Has the speed of Earth's rotation decreased?Now the question is whether the speed of Earth's rotation has decreased. The answer to which is yes. The speed of Earth's rotation is changing, but it is happening very slowly. Actually, millions of years ago an Earth day was about 22 hours. But the speed of the Earth has been decreasing for more than a billion years, with days increasing by about 2 milliseconds every century. Let us tell you that this slowdown is due to the friction created by sea currents, tides and air drawn to the Earth's surdata-face. However, global warming can speed things up again.What will happen if the Earth stops rotating?It is impossible for the Earth to stop rotating without any external force. But if the Earth stops rotating, the atmosphere will continue to rotate at the speed of the Earth, so anything not stationary on the surdata-face, including trees and buildings, will be swept away by strong winds. Every part of the planet will get continuous sunlight for six months and darkness for six months.
