I altered Earth's rotation!Horwood Beer-Master wrote:OK - What the fuck does it take to alter this planet's orbit or rotation without completely destroying it?..
With a 1726.96 mile-wide lump of Iridium, hitting at a 30 degree angle at 42.23 miles per second!

The Earth is strongly disturbed by the impact, but loses little mass.
100.00 percent of the Earth is melted
The impact makes a noticeable change in the Earth's rotation period and tilt of its axis.
The impact does not shift the Earth's orbit noticeably.
Now what does it take to change the orbit.
