What if Earth Started Spinning Backwards

Let's assume earth slows down to reverse direction, everything would go flying to the east, so the whole process will leave a huge mess.


This Backward spinning of the earth is termed as Retrograde motion. Now, to understand the effects of this Retrograde motion on earth. Scientists performed some simulations. In these simulations the some noticeable changes are as follows:

What if Earth started Spinning Backwards

1. Directions of winds and oceans currents

What if Earth started Spinning Backwards

Directions of winds and oceans currents reversed causing changes in climatic conditions. This resulted in a much greener earth as the world's deserts shrank from 42 million square kilometers to 31 million square kilometers.

2. Decrease in Global Warming

What if Earth started Spinning Backwards

At present, rising level of carbon dioxide is contributing to global warming but in the retrograde world with more trees to absorb carbon dioxide, the global mean temperature dropped by about 0.2 degree Celsius. Thus, considerably lowering th effects of global warming.

3. Change in Rainfall Pattern

What if Earth started Spinning Backwards

The rainfall pattern also changed. As a result, the great Sahara desert and the Arabian desert got covered in trees and grasses. While never seen before deserts emerged in southern Brazil and Argentina.

These are the three major changes that Earth would experience and our life would totally change. Tell us below who can make our earth spins backwards.

Drop any scientific question below and we will write a detailed article on it and we will mention your name above our article.

Conducting Polymers: Definition, Examples, Properties and Applications

Image
What are Conducting Polymers? As the name suggests organic polymers that conduct electricity are known as conducting polymers. They are also known as intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) and they have alternating single and double bonds along the polymer backbone (conjugated bonds) or that are composed of aromatic rings such as Phenylene, naphthalene, anthracene, pyrrole, and thiophene which are connected through carbon-carbon single bonds. Examples: Polyacetylene, Polypyrrole, Polyaniline, etc What is the reason behind conducting nature of these polymers? Conducting polymers comes in two forms that are doped conducting polymers and non-doped conducting polymers. The conductivity of non-doped conjugated polymers is due to the existence of a conductivity band similar to a metal. In a conjugated polymer, three of the four valence electrons form strong sigma bonds through sp² hybridization where electrons are strongly localized. The remaining unpaired electron of each carbon atom re

Crime Scene: Definition, Types and Characteristics

What is a Crime Scene ? A place where the crime is committed or where the maximum physical evidence related to crime is found is known as a crime scene. A crime scene is a starting point of the investigation which provides information about the suspect and the victim. This helps to reconstruct the crime and fast resolution of the case. It is noted that the crime scene is not limited to a single place but may extend to a wider area depending upon the nature of the crime committed. For example, In a murder case where murder is done at one place and the body is disposed on another place. In this case, we have two crime scenes that give information about the crime. Types of Crime Scene Based on evidence found on the crime scene: 1. Primary Crime Scene The crime scene where the actual crime occurred or where more usable pieces of evidence were found is known as the primary crime scene. For example, A murder scene, theft, assault, etc. 2. Secondary Crime Scene The crime scene which is some

Raman Spectroscopy: Principle, Instrumentation and Applications

Image
What is Raman Spectroscopy? Raman spectroscopy was given by an Indian Physicist Sir C.V Raman , which is based on inelastic scattering of monochromatic light with the sample. The resulting light will have a different frequency than incident light due to this inelastic scattering.  This technique is widely used to analyze vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency interactions in the molecule. This significantly helps in the elucidation of molecular structure, identifying functional groups, etc. Principle of Raman Spectroscopy Raman spectroscopy is based on the inelastic scattering of electromagnetic radiation with the molecule. We have two types of scattering that are elastic and inelastic scattering.  Elastic scattering obeys the Rayleigh law that states that there will be no loss of energy and momentum of the incidence radiation and scattered radiation. That's why this scattering is also known as Rayleigh scattering. Whereas, there will be some conditions (1 in million
