Why the earth is rotating along its axis?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the reasons behind Earth's rotation and the nature of rotation in other celestial bodies. It explores theories suggesting that Earth's rotation began due to gravitational interactions during its formation, potentially influenced by collisions with other planetary bodies. Participants also discuss the unique rotational characteristics of planets like Uranus and Venus, noting that Uranus has an extreme axial tilt likely caused by past impacts. The conversation highlights the concept of conservation of angular momentum, explaining that the initial rotation of the solar system's material contributes to the current motions of planets. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexities of planetary rotation and the forces at play in celestial mechanics.

or what type of forces made Earth rotating around the earth?please answer me in detail i m in very biggest trouble

Think about what happens when you pull the plug from a tub of water. Water from all directions rushes toward the drain, and the forces that the center of the drain are not perfectly symmetrical. That is to say, not all of the water molecules collide with one another "head-on." Some will pass by one another slightly to the left or the right.

Eventually, slightly more particles will pass to one side than the other. This on even force causes all the water around the drain to begin spinning in one direction. This is essentially what happened to the collapsing cloud of dust and gases that eventually formed the earth. Gravity caused them to collapse rapidly, rushing quickly toward a central point, and slight imperfections in the symmetry of the collisions made them spin.
