though it has a circumference almost 11 times that of Earth.

So WHT WILL HAPPEN if Earth suddenly starts rotating at the speed of JUPITER ?

  1. that would mean going from about 700 mph to going 27,000 mph suddenly.

    The escape velocity of earth is about 17,000 mph.  So that means just about everything on earth (including the atmosphere adn the oceans) would be flung into space.

    In fact, a great deal of the surface itself would likely be thrown off.

    EDIT:  thumbs down?  what is wrong with my facts?
