Why does the earth rotate on its axis?

Best Answers

But for the Earth rotating on its axis, there is no force working to counteract the rotation (except the tidal effect of the Moon, but that's working very slowly), so you don't need to have any input energy to keep it spinning. read more

Earth has magnetic field with North & South Poles. The axis of rotation is different from the magnetic poles. This difference creates force for the earth to rotate on its axis. The same is the case with all planets in the Solar System. Moon doesn't have Magnetic field; hence it does not rotate on its axis. read more
