At the equator, the earth spins at 1600 km/h. Meaning everything that isn't very well secured is turning into a projectile. That would be a today problem
The unit you are looking for is km/h. Both capitalisation and multiplication (division) matter with units.
You haven't heard about the new unit kilometerhours? The conversion is a simple formula. X = KMH, Y = km/h
(((x2)+5)-(5+(2x)))+x=y
But you understood what I said right?
I think KPH is the preferred acronym. km/h is the proper unit of course.
Thank you. I live in the US, so I tried to express speed in a relatively same sense. I'll change it
(you're in science memes, you can expect to get corrected for incorrect symbols)
Correct, because the context gave it away, the same way I Can w_rte like dis aN,d YoU wl undrstmd me.
Cool. So you get it.

Really sums up small town life.
If the earth stopped rotating, days would be about 365x longer.
I wanted to figure out a more exact answer, but I'm hung up on the fact that the length of a day is influenced by rotation and revolution together.
I have a feeling this requires calculus. If Sir Isaac Newton were here, I think he'd know what to do.
It could be tidally locked to the sun too. Then days would truly cease to exist, you'd just have a hot side and a cold side.
It could, and eventually would, but the premise of this comic is "the earth has stopped rotating", not "the earth is now rotating at 1 revolution per year".
Tidal locking still requires the planet to be rotating
365x24=8760
Open 8760 hours a day, 7 days a week
you've got it. the period of the sun up/sun down cycle would be the orbital period.
365.25 days I believe is the better approximation because it's the rough time it takes Earth to be in the same spot - hence the leap years

Oh yes, I immediately remembered portal after reading this, lol.
