How does Earth, or any other celestial body, keep spinning indefinitely?
In: Physics
If you make a ball spin on the tip of your finger inside of your room it will not spin for ever because there are forces that will make it stop. Like the air around it or the friction against your finger. Earth spinning does not have air around or finger that cause friction but (how they told you above) it has tides that will make it stop eventually (it will take a LONG time)
