What will happen if the earth stop rotating but continuous revolving to the sun?
If the earth stopped rotating about its axis, yet remained in orbit about the sun, then a few interesting circumstances would result. First, there would be a prolonged exposure to the sun on the surface of the earth. Without rotation the earth’s surface would not experience the usual cyclical temperature variance. This would mean that the days would be a year long, and extreme temperature variance between the side of the earth facing the sun and the dark side would result, frying everything on the sunny side, and freezing everything on the dark side. Needless to say, life could not possibly exist in such a hostile environment and every living thing would soon die in a matter of weeks. Oceans would be evaporated on the sunny side and relocated and frozen on the dark side. Torrential winds would result from the extreme temperature variances and cause massive surface erosion. The Earth would begin to look like a desert wasteland on one side and a frozen iceland on the other. Also if the e
