If Jupiter stopped spinning, nothing would happen to Earth because of the vast distances in space, Jupiter's rotation rate actually has no direct physical effect on planet Earth, Earth's orbit or Earth's weather.
The gas giant's rotation would also only change Jupiter's own atmospheric dynamics, like smoothing out it's famous storms.
If Earth stopped spinning it would trigger a global extinction event and the momentum of the Earth ceasing to spin would also send everything that was and is not physically anchored to bedrock, which includes the oceans and atmosphere flying eastward at speeds as fast as 1,000 mph.
And devastating supersonic winds and colossal tsunamis would also instantly wipe out nearly all surface life on earth.
The planet earth if it stopped spinning would also undergo several catastrophic changes to it's shape, climate and habitability.
The Earth's rotation, currently creates a bulge at the equator, if the rotation of Earth did stop, the gravity would slowly pull the planet Earth back into a perfect sphere and cause massive earthquakes and redistribute the oceans.
And without rotation of the Earth, a single day on Earth would also last an entire year.
One side of the planet Earth would face the Sun continuously for 6 months and cause the oceans to boil and the forests to burn and the other side would also be plunged into 6 months of eternal night, causing temperatures to plummet to arctic extremes.
And Earth would also experience a loss of magnetic field if it were to stop spinning.
The protective magnetic field of Earth is generated by the swirling of liquid metal in it's core, which is also heavily driven by planetary rotation.
And if Earth stopped spinning, the magnetic field would also eventually collapse.
And without the magnetic field, the planet Earth would also be bombarded by deadly solar radiation and cosmic rays, which would also strip away the atmosphere and destroy any remaining life.
The water would also flood toward the poles and create 2 massive oceans and leave a single, continuous ring of dry land around the equator.
Inertia and the conservation of angular momentum is what keeps the planet Earth spinning as the earth does not need a constant energy source or engine to keep it turning.
The solar system formed over 4.5 billion years ago from a massive, swirling cloud of gas and dust collapsing under it's own gravity and as the cloud shrank, it spun faster, which is similar to that of how an ice skater pulls in their arms to spin faster.
The debris that clumped together to form Earth inherited the spinning motion and according to Newton's first law of motion, it states that an object that is in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
And because space is also practically a vacuum with almost no air resistance or friction to slow it down, Earth continues to coast on this initial, ancient momentum.
The universe and earth and the planets began forming around 13.8 billion years ago.
Although the universe, earth and planets was not formed from literal nothing, but instead was formed from an absence of space and time.
And as space rapidly expanded and cooled, matter condensed.
Then gravity subsequently pulled the gas and dust together to form the stars, planets and the Earth we live on.
Around 13.8 billion years ago is when the universe started, where all matter, energy and space were compressed into an infinitely dense point.
Then the expansion occurred, a the universe was not an explosion in space, by instead an explosive expansion of space itself also known as the Big Bang.
And as the universe expanded and cooled, energy then converted into fundamental particles.
These particles then bonded to form the simplest elements, mostly hydrogen and helium.
The sun and the solar system began forming around 4.6 billion years ago.
The sun and solar system forming started with cloud collapse, where a massive, swirling cloud of interstellar gas and dust, which was triggered by the shockwave of a nearby exploding star, collapsed under it's own gravity.
And for the igniting of the sun, the vast majority of this material also condensed at the center and created immense pressure and heat, eventually lighting the sun.
And then finally the Earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago.
Earth forming around 4.5 billion years ago started with dust to planets, where leftover dust and debris swirling around the infant sun collided, stuck together and then gradually grew into larger bodies called planetesimals.
And for the formation of earth, these bodies collided and merged over millions of years to build the rocky, terrestrial planets.
And earth formed as a molten ball of rock and metal.
And as it cooled down, heavier elements like iron sank to the core, while lighter materials also rose to form the crust and mantle.
Earth and all the planets and even all life on earth including us humans has always fascinated me and it's really amazing and mind boggling to think about.
Even the fact that a man and a woman can have intercourse or sex and a new human can be made inside a woman's body as a result of sperm and eggs and the process that it goes through.
