Could the Earth ever stop spinning? Science Short

from Squiz Kids · host Squiz Media

In this Squiz Kids Science Short, Christie explains why our planet is very slowly slowing down, what that means for the length of our days, and why you won’t notice any extra free time just yet. Then we imagine the wild science-fiction scenario of Earth suddenly stopping — with help from Newton’s First Law — and discover why a spinning planet is essential for life as we know it.
