How would the length of the solar day change if Earths rotation were suddenly reverse direction?
Interesting question. It depends on what time of day it was where you are when it reversed. If it was more than halfway through the light cycle of the day (sunup to sundown) then it would lengthen that perticular day assuming that the earth resumed the same speed of rotation that day but in the opposite direction. In other words if you have already gone through 8 hours of sunlight then you should get another 8 hours of sunlight for 16 total. If where you are has only gone through 3 hours of sunlight that morning then you will theoretically only get another 3 hours of sunlight as the sun was closer to the horizon and doesn’t have that far to go before it sets again. Now here’s the big clincher. If that happens then we all die and it won’t really matter. The amount of gravity we have is dependant on the rotation of the earth. At the point of no rotation or even less rotation the gravity will change dramatically. God saw to it that everything on the earth was perfect for our survival. Spe
