How fast can they spin??? #universe #earth #jupiter #pulsar #neutronstars #spinning #ytshorts
Earth, Jupiter, and pulsars all spin, but at vastly different rates and for different reasons.
* Earth: Our planet rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, which is what creates the day-night cycle. This rotation is caused by the leftover momentum from the formation of the solar system.
* Jupiter: Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, spins much faster than Earth, completing a rotation on its axis once every about 10 hours. This rapid rotation is thought to be due to the large amount of gas and liquid that makes up the planet.
* Pulsars: Pulsars are a type of neutron star, which is the collapsed core of a massive star that has exploded in a supernova. Pulsars spin incredibly rapidly, with some completing hundreds of rotations per second. This rapid spin is thought to be due to the conservation of angular momentum during the collapse of the star. As the star's core shrinks, its rotation speed increases dramatically.
