What is the new period of rotation?

What if our planet has a period of 9.9250 hours in 1 rotation?

  • What if our planet has a period of 9.9250 hours (9 hours 55 minutes 30 seconds) in 1 rotation just like planet Jupiter? What do you think will be our situation in our life?

  • Answer:

    Hello friend Ronald, those near by the equator regions will be thrown out into the space due to centrifugal force. Day and night would become short and this may not suit to the human mind already programmed with 24 hours for one rotation.
