what force makes earth rotate
Report Abuse. Gravitation makes the earth rotate around the sun. It doesn't fall into the sun because it had and initial velocity when the solar system was formed. The earth rotates around itself because of the initial spin acquired when it was formed by a whirpool of particles.he earth rotates simply because it has not yet stopped moving. The Solar System, and indeed the Galaxy, were formed by the condensation of a rotating mass of gas. Conservation of angular momentum meant that any bodies formed from the gas would themselves be rotating.
