bro just said wind is from the rotation of the earth.

earth spinning at break neck 1000 miles an hour, conyers ga has a cool crisp 5 mph breeze.

edit: :stopitslime:

winds are affected by the rotation of the earth though breh, not how fast they're blowing but what direction they turn towards

the other breh's link was aimed at kids so it has some white lies for children :lolbron:

That channel is the epitome of everything that's wrong with pop-science.

I don’t doubt it would be crazy but I’m having a hard time believing all that would happen in the span of 5 seconds :stopitslime:

I used to pass by this paper plant everyday going to this old job of mine and smoke from the plant would rise straight up into the air hella high. Straight up, not bent.

I used to always wonder , how da hell is that factory smoke rising straight up if the earth is spinning roughly 1000mph?

I mean if you go 90mph hell 50mph and something stops your car and drops the speed from 50 down to zero instantly. You would go sailing through the windshield. Imagine earth going from 1000mph to zero, shyt would be :damn:

Yea that actually makes more sense than anything in the vid

Still kinda hard to believe all buildings will be crushed and all people would die in 5 seconds

Plus all the ocean water would rush to another part of the planet

Just doesn’t sound believable

Unbelievable or incomprehensible? Everything I said about in the car scenario, would be the same thing that would happen to everything on earth on a MAJOR scale.

This is from Astronomy.com and it's really a simple explanation


Stopping Earth​


If Earth stopped spinning all at once, it would be enormously catastrophic for much of the planet’s surface. Though we don’t feel it, we’re all moving along with the planet as it rotates; at the equator, this works out to around 1,000 miles per hour. Stop the planet suddenly, and everything sitting on top of it would go flying eastward. Imagine people, houses, trees, boulders and more being launched sideways at hundreds of miles an hour. In the aftermath, high-speed winds, still rotating nearly as fast as the planet, would scour the surface clean.
