Question

why does the earth rotate ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Earth spins because of the way it was formed. Our Solar System formed about 4.6 billion years ago when a huge cloud of gas and dust started to collapse under its own gravity. As the cloud collapsed, it started to spin.

Answer 2

Answer:

Precession is a rotation of earth's rotation axis,caused primarly by external torques from the gravity of the sun,moon and other bodies

if the earth stopped spins suddenly,the atmosphere would still be in motion with the earth's original 1100 mile per hour rotation speed at the equator.All of the land masses would be scoured clean of anything not attached to bedrock

Hope it helps
