They make the world go round

No, the sun makes the world go round.

no, the sun makes the earth go round the sun.

the earth goes round because of the intrinsic momentum that existed in the early solar system as the planets coalesced. in the case of Earth, that's heavily modified by an early impact with a large body that caused the formation of our moon - in fact, I think maybe the earth even goes round the wrong way? or at least too slow. can't remember now...

No one likes a smart arse. Anyways, the sun still makes the Earth go round, I just didn't specify what it makes it go round.

actually I suppose technically my last post was why it goes around. what makes it go round is its own gravity combined with its prior liquid state.

And give it a few million years and it will stop going round altogether due to friction with the tides, winds and such!

Douchier · November 19, 2008, 15:48:11

You have to get to the boathouse to call someclaim something. Also there'll probably be a good bit of boat swapping as people come and go.
