Earth’s Rotation-A Journal Entry
If the earth’s rotation was twice as long as it was now, Earth would be very different. Many things would change that would affect our everyday lives. In this paper I will tell you how I think life would change.
Right now the earth’s rotation is 24 hours long and that makes one day 24 hours long. If the earth’s was twice as long our days would be 48 hours long. One thing I think would change is how we tell time. If there were 48 hours in a day instead of 24, Our current time system would not work. I think that we would have to change our system to fit our 48 hour rotation. We would probably have to create a clock that went up to 24 hours or convert to military time. I think that it would be more useful if we had a 24 hour clock, because that is the system Americans are used to and it would be easy that way. …show more content…

I think that temperature and plant growth would change a lot. If the earth’s rotation was twice as long the earth would have sunlight twice as long and moonlight twice as long. This means that the earth would get a lot colder and a lot warmer. I think this would affect plant growth. It would be a lot harder to grow plants in more extreme temperatures. It would also be harder because if plants are in the dark for a long time they might die from lack of sunlight. If it became harder to grow plants this could affect our lives in lots of different ways. We could have a smaller food supply and possibly have to think of alternative food sources. This could also affect the growth of trees and possibly impact our oxygen supply. Our lives would change a lot if we had a 24

    Each year the four seasons repeat themselves, starting and ending on the same day each time. Although the plants living outside go through several different phases, they often restart at the beginning of their cycle after they’ve ended their previous one. This pattern continues in a never-ending circle. Time has no effect on plants, only the weather and outside forces do. Time is not a factor in nature itself, because organisms will go through their phases regardless of time.

    The day that we don’t have school could be the day that we could make up work and turn in assignments online on classroom. A little homework for each class would help out a lot. Teachers want to teach students and have them know all the knowledge that they teach and maybe use it in the later day lives and longer days with longer periods would let those teachers take their time teaching their subjects. This also allows students to take their time in getting their toughest work done. The class periods would probably be over an hour long but longer school days is a must if you for sure have four day weeks.

    Therefore, the portion of this hemisphere that is visible to an observer on Earth can vary from about 100% (full moon) to 0% (new moon). The lunar terminator is the boundary between the illuminated and darkened hemispheres. Each of the four "intermediate" lunar phases (see below) is roughly seven days (~7.4 days) but this varies slightly due to the elliptical shape of the Moon 's orbit. Aside from some craters near the lunar poles such as Shoemaker, all parts of the Moon see around 14.77 days of sunlight, followed by 14.77 days of "night". (The side of the Moon facing away from the Earth is sometimes called the "dark side", which is a misnomer).When the Sun and Moon are aligned on the same side of the Earth, the moon is "new", and the side of the Moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the Sun.
