## Resource

Our planet rotates once every 24 hours in respect to the Sun - this time is know as the solar day. The current speed of rotation is about 1,000 miles per hour. That's a lot, but we don't really feel this speed and it doesn't affect us. But what if this speed got much faster - let's say... the speed of light. If the Earth was rotating at the speed of light, how would it affect our planet and our lives? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
