Hey steemians,
Today I want to talk about what would happen if the Earth revolution around the sun stops
The above topic is a huge question which I’ve always imagine since I have been thought the topic on Earth rotation and revolution in my secondary days some couple of years back, not until my teacher then said to me that it’s impossible and can never happen without a certain reasons for His answer. Then I tried making a research about this and decided to share it here.
The question like I have just said is very impossible because Nothing can stop the earth from revolving around the Giant ball called the SUN, so never bother yourself expecting something or thinking of a disaster like this. Before I proceed, what exactly does earth revolution cause? OK, the answer to this question is simple because it’s something we observe every time of our lives, Rotation of the Earth causes day and night while revolution of the earth around the sun leads to changes in season in different part of the world.
But there is nothing bad about we getting answer and having knowledge about this hypothetical question. So let’s assume something huge, giant and mighty object stops the earth from it track while revolving around the sun, what will happen?
According to research, Earth revolves around the sun at an estimated speed of 30 kilometers per second (70,000 miles per hour). Imagine how fast it’s and everything on the earth also move with it at the same speed. Although a high orbital velocity is the only keeping us all in the earth from crashing into the sun.
So in the case of sudden stoppage or halt in the Earth revolution around the Sun (the heat giant), Everything will fall into complete disorderliness, chaos, confusion and so on, on the planet Earth and Earth would still have 30 km/s worth of Inertia(lack of movement when an external force is applied) leading it to the outer space. _Let’s make an assumption of the Earth being a bus (analogy of the word Inertia) moving at a particular speed and the rocks, mountains, seas, and everything included in the Earth now represents the passengers inside the fast moving bus; the driver the uses the Brake suddenly maybe because of an obstruction or a barrier He does not want to hit, can you imagine the type of confusion or disarray of what will happen in the bus, same applies to the Earth moving at a particular speed across the Sun which will leads to a complete destruction within seconds, even if the Earth stops revolving gradually, there will also be destruction but unlike a sudden stoppage.
This stoppage may leads to the Earth crashing into the sun, though it’s not scientifically impossible for the Earth to crash into the sun, because the Earth will disintegrate or destroy before getting to half way of the sun because of the HEAT of the giant ball called SUN, global temperature will increase as the Earth moves to the sun; oceans would boils, and wildfires would scorch the land.
In conclusion, all that has been mentioned above are completely impossible. Therefore, you can go about with you were doing and don’t let the ideas of the Earth stoppage makes you unstable by this article.
I apologize for any scaring nightmare in advance.
