What would be the effect on climate in the temperate latitudes if Earth were to slow its rate of rotation from a 24-hour period of rotation to a 48 -hour period of rotation? A) Seasons would be longer and more distinct (colder winters and warmer summers).
B) Large-scale weather events such as tornadoes and hurricanes would no longer be a part of regional climates.
C) Winter seasons in both the northern and southern hemispheres would have more abundant and frequent precipitation events.
D) There often would be a larger range between daytime high and nighttime low temperatures.

Answer :

The correct option is (E) The climate would stay the same. The only change would be longer days and nights.

If Earth were to slow its rate of rotation from a 24-hour period of rotation to a 48 -hour period of rotation, the climate would stay the same. The only change would be longer days and nights.

How does the rotation of the Earth affect day and night?

  • Earth rotates on its axis, or turns, once every 24 hours, carrying us all along with it. We experience daylight when we are on the side of the Earth that faces the Sun. We are now on the side of the Earth that faces away from the Sun, and night has fallen.
  • The Earth revolves counterclockwise, and if we were to look down on it from above the north pole, we would notice that day and night move over our planet from east to west.
