interesting is that all the planets of the solar system does not stand still, and rotate in one direction or another.Most of them in this respect "in solidarity" with the sun.The heavenly bodies revolve back clockwise as seen from the North Pole.The exceptions are Venus and Uranus, traded in the opposite direction.Moreover, if all is clear with Venus, the second planet from there are some problems with the definition of the direction, becausescientists have not reached a consensus as to what her North Pole, and what - the south because of the large inclination of the axis.The sun rotates around its axis at a speed of 25-35 days, and this difference is due to the fact that the pole is slower turnover.
problem, as the Earth rotates (about the axis), has several options.Firstly, some believe that the planet rotates under the influence of the stars in our energy system, ieSun.It heats the water and great air masses which act on the solid component, providing rotation with varying speeds at long time intervals.Proponents of this theory suggest: the power of the impact may be such that if the solid component of the planet is not strong enough, it may be a drift of continents.In defense of the theory says that the planet where there is substance in three different states (solid, liquid, gaseous) rotate faster than those in which the state of two.The researchers also point out that on the approach to the Earth formed a huge solar power, and the power of the Gulf Stream in the open ocean, more than 60 times the capacity of all the rivers on the planet.
The most common answer to the question: "How the Earth rotates during the day?" - Is the assumption that this rotation is preserved from the formation of planets from dust clouds, with the participation of other celestial bodies, which crashed into the surface.
representatives of various scientific (and other) areas trying to figure out what has caused the Earth's rotation around its axis.Some believe that for such a uniform rotation applied to it some external forces unexplored nature.Newton, for example, believed that the world is often "in need of repair."Today, they suggest that such forces can operate in the South Sandwich Islands and the southern end of the Verkhoyansk Range in Yakutia.It is believed that in these places the crust is "attached" to the jumpers inside, preventing slipping on the mantle.Scientists rely on the fact that these places are found interesting twists of mountain ranges on land and under water, arising under the influence of huge forces at work in the Earth's crust and underneath.
Equally interesting as the Earth rotates around the sun.Here, the force of gravity and centrifugal force, by which the planet rests on the orbit like a ball, which turned on a string.While these forces are balanced, we do not "fly away" into deep space or, conversely, do not fall down in the world.So as the Earth rotates, it does not rotate any other planet.Year, for example, on Mercury lasts about 88 Earth days, while Pluto - a quarter of the millennium (247, 83 Earth years).
