No. The world was formed from matter in the accretion disc around the sun as it formed. So the Earth was spinning during formation and has never stopped. Tidal effects from the Moon have slowed the spin rate, and at some point it will slow until it matches its rate of rotation around the Sun (resulting in one side aways facing the sun, and one side always facing away). But even then it will still be spinning, just more slowly.

If earth stopped spinning would it loose atmosphere?
No, the atmosphere is held in place by gravity, not centripetal force. If the earth stopped spinning, there would be no coriolis force though. This would stop deflecting the moving air in the atmosphere.
Earth spinning on its axis?
Yes, the earth does spin around its axis. That's what causes the apparent movement of the sun and the stars. If your question was rather what spinning on its axis mean? Ever saw a sphere spinning? It means that.
Can spinning a child from his feet cause vomiting or brain injury?
Of course don't ever do that
How old is gravity?
So gravity is basicly centrifugal force (the world spinning) which pulls us and other thing towards the centre of the earth. So gravity has been around for aslong as the world has been spinning.
Where are spinning wind turbines in the US?
there are wind farms all over the world
What happens if the world stop spinning?
If the world stopped spinning we would have a very unlikely chance or survival. It depends on what your asking. If the world stops spinning but still revolves around the sun. Or if the world stopped moving all together. There are many answers. If the world stopped spinning but still revolved around the sun then we would have seasons like we do now, but we would either have light or day for 6 months each. It would take a lot of adapting to. So if the world stopped moving all together. Then we wouldn't have seasons. We would either have light or darkness for the rest of our lives, and we would either be in the unbareable cold or the blistering heat.
What is a hyperbole for kiss?
The kiss was so loving and sweet it stopped the world from spinning until it was over.
What if the world stopped spinning?
i think there will be no magnetic field if the earth stops spining.and it will be a disastrous for all living beings
How the world started spinning?
First, a big flying rock came and just hit the earth before life ever started and it is still spinning.
Why does a raw egg continue spinning after stopped?
The inertia of the egg makes it continue to spin after the intended spinning of it.
Did the Olympics ever stop?
The Olympic Games were canceled three times. In 1916 they were stopped due to World War I, and in 1940 and 1944 they were stopped due to World War II.
What could still exist if earth stopped spinning?
rocks, the other planents
If earth stopped spinning would it loose atmosphere?
No, the atmosphere is held in place by gravity, not centripetal force. If the earth stopped spinning, there would be no coriolis force though. This would stop deflecting the moving air in the atmosphere.
Would you weigh more if the earth stopped spinning?
No, the mass dictates the gravitational forces.
What would happen if the coils in a generator stopped spinning?
if that happens, then it would stop working.
What Would Happen If The World Quit Spinning?
If the world stopped spinning it would do it gradually and each side of the world would either get the Sun for a whole year or darkness for a year. There would be no more northern lights and the protection of cosmic rays would vanish along with other high energy particles. When the world stops spinning completely then one side of the earth would be in a total eclipse and the other would be in constant sunshine each year, in and out. This is true but actually we would either be in light or darkness for only 6 months. Because IF the world stopped spinning but revolved around the sun then we would be in darkness or light for 6 months BECAUSE when the earth goes around the sun it will be transferring from one season to the other.
How many centuries have winds been on earth?
Ever since the world formed, temperature variations and the spinning of the earth has caused winds.
