from where does Earth get energy for rotation?as its rotating means its doing some motion to work again sun's gravity soo from where does Earth gets this energy?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
but anyhow how Earth gets energy for rotation?
 
google... "why do planets rotate"

And once they "start" they don't need energy, as Russ explained.
 
Once something is rotating, it doesn't need energy to keep on rotating. In fact, it needs energy to STOP it from rotating.
