Question

What would happen if Earth stopped rotating?

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

Earth would become uninhabitable

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.
