The hard boiled egg spins easily and continues to spin for a few seconds. The raw egg wobbles and stops more quickly than the cooked egg. WHY: The material inside each shell affects the way it spins. The cooked egg is solid and spins with its shell. The liquid liquid in the raw egg does not start spinning with the movement of its shell. The liquid inside the egg moves slowly. The sluggish motion causes the egg to wobble and stop more quickly. Parts of our Earth's mantle and outer core are liquid. Like the egg, the Earth also wobbles. It is very slight.
