Question

What would happen if Earth stopped rotating?

• A. Earth would become uninhabitable
• B. Half of Earth would experience freezing cold temperatures
• C. Half of Earth would experience extremely hot temperatures
• D. Earth would run out of oxygen

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A Earth would become uninhabitable
B Half of Earth would experience freezing cold temperatures
C Half of Earth would experience extremely hot temperatures

If Earth stopped rotating, one half of it would be exposed to all the sunlight and could become extremely hot. The other half would not receive sunlight and could become extremely cold. Trees would not be able to survive due to extreme heat or lack of sunlight. Furthermore, the extreme temperature and lack of trees would make the planet uninhabitable.
