How and why did the Earth begin to spin? How and why is the Earth tilted?<\/p>\n<p>The Earth spins due to gravity. Between 4-5 million years ago a cloud of hydrogen, helium, dust, and rock started to pull itself together. The gravitational pull caused the cloud to start spinning. It is the conservation of angular momentum. Not all the gas and debris was moving at the same speed and direction. The asymmetry during gravitational accretion resulted in the angular momentum of what became Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Wait! There is more. When the Earth got its tilt, the rotational speed was also reset by the giant-impact hypothesis. The origin of the Moon is believed to be the result of a giant Mars-like object striking the Earth. During the collision, a giant chunk of the Earth formed a debris cloud that would go on to become the Moon. The blow to the Earth knocked it on a 23.5 degrees tilt from the plane of its orbit around the sun, as well as, reset the Earth&#8217;s rate of rotation. The time of day, time of tides, and time of season are a result of the giant-impact.<\/p>\n<p>Once the Earth was spinning, Newton&#8217;s First Law of Motion became the guiding force:<br \/>\nan object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an outside force.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LYRICS Pastel light To neon bright Slipping into night (Beget sunset) The thrust of dusk In the cusp Slipping through twilight (Forget sun, yet?)
