It slow down the rotation of the earth due to friction of water motion acting on to earth surface. The earth spin is slowing down by about 1.5-2 milliseconds per century.

How come you can see the sun in the day but not at night time?

The sun is blocked by the earth. It is the earth's rotation which causes the apparent motion of the sun, and when the sun "sets" and "rises" it is merely the rotation of the earth causing the bulk of the earth to move between the observer and the light coming from the sun.

How earth's rotation affects a pendulum?

A pendulum moves not by Earth's rotation, but by gravity pulling down and causing it to swing.


How does planet earth rotate?

Earth first gained rotation as it formed by numerous collisions of smaller objects and gained its current rotation during a very large impact that also formed the moon. While interaction with the moon has slowed Earth's rotation, there has been nothing to stop it.


What is the influence of earth's rotation causing winds to travel a long distance to curve?

The Coriolis Effect.


What interaction occurs between the earth and moon?

Both the Moon and the Earth exert gravitational force on each other, and due to their close proximity the gravitational interaction is very strong. As the Moon orbits the Earth it will subtly pull the surface towards it, raising it about 1 meter which causes the tides. The Moon is also deformed slightly. Because the Earth and Moon are not uniform in shape, the amount of pull will fluctuate as the Earth rotates. The strength of gravity between the two celestial objects will also cause the Moon to be "tidally locked", causing one side to face the Earth at all times. The Moon still rotates around the Earth, but its own rotation is stopped.


What is the result of gravity between the Moon and the Earth?

The gravitational interaction of the Earth and Moon produces a number of effects. The most obvious of these is the orbital motion of the Moon around the Earth, but there is also a motion of the Earth around the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system, tidal effects on the Earth and Moon and professional effects on the Earth's axis of rotation.


How speed of rotation of earth depends on distance between earth and sun?

No dependency, when measured on Earth.


What the meaning of rotation of the earth?

It is the spin of the earth around an axis running between the poles.


Why earth have its rotation?

because of gravitational force of attraction between the earth and other planets


What is the difference between earth's rotation and facing time?

by the earths rotation around the sun and the pattern in day and night and how the earth moves and how the earth revolves and rotate around the sun.
