How the Earth rotates around its axis and around the Sun.

It is interesting that all the planets of the solar system do not stand still, but rotate in one direction or another. Most of them in this respect are "in solidarity" with the Sun. Celestial bodies spin back clockwise, if viewed from the North Pole. The exceptions are Venus and Uranus, turning in the opposite direction. In this case, if everything is clear with Venus, then the second planet has some problems with determining the direction, since Scientists have not come to a common opinion as to which pole it has in the north, and which is the south pole 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 explained by the fact that the revolution is slower at the pole.

The problem is how the Earth rotates (around the axis), has several solutions. First, some believe that the planet rotates under the influence of the energy of the star in our system, i.e. The sun. It heats huge water and air masses, which act on the solid component, providing rotation at a certain speed at large intervals. Supporters of this theory assume that the impact force can be such that if the solid component of the planet is not strong enough, then continental drift may occur. In defense of the theory, it says that planets where there is a substance in three different states (solid, liquid, gaseous) rotate faster than those in which there are two states. Also, researchers note that on the approach to the Earth a huge amount of solar radiation is formed, and the Gulf Stream's capacity in the open ocean is more than 60 times greater than the power of all the rivers on the planet.

The most common answer to the question: "How does the Earth rotate during the day?" - is the assumption that this rotation has been preserved since the formation of planets from gas-dust clouds with the participation of other cosmic bodies that crashed into the surface.

Representatives of various scientific (and not only) directions tried to find out what the rotation of the Earth around the axis is connected with. Some believe that for such a uniform rotation, certain external forces of uncharted nature are applied to it. Newton, for example, believed that the world often "needs repair". Today it is assumed that such forces can operate in the area of the South Sandwich Islands and at the southern end of the Verkhoyansk Ridge of Yakutia. It is assumed that in these places the earth's crust is "fastened" by jumpers to the inner part, not allowing slip on the mantle. Scientists are based on the fact that in these places interesting bends of mountain ranges on land and under water, which were caused by the huge forces operating in the earth's crust and under it, were discovered.

No less interesting is how Earth rotates around the Sun. There is a force of attraction and a centrifugal force due to which the planet keeps in its orbit as a ball, which is twisted on a string. While these forces are balanced, we will not "fly away" into deep space, or, conversely, we will not fall on the star. So, as the Earth rotates, no other planet rotates. A year, for example, on Mercury lasts about 88 terrestrial days, and on Pluto - a quarter of a millennium (247, 83 terrestrial years).
