13 So the sun stood still,
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on its enemies,
as it is written in the Book of Jashar.

Who did the sun and moon stand still for?
Joshua.Joshua 10:12-1412 On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel:"Sun, stand still over Gibeon,and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."13 So the sun stood still,and the moon stopped,till the nation avenged itself on[a] its enemies,as it is written in the Book of Jashar.The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. 14 There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a human being.

Where does the bible say the earth stopped?
It was the sun and moon that stopped (Joshua 10:12-14). This happened either through the earth standing still, or the sun moved in the same way to keep perfect pace with the battlefield in Gibeon. The moon also ceased its orbiting. God can do all things. Note that this event is recorded in inscriptions in a number of ancient nations in far-flung places.
How many days does the sun stop during Joshua's time in the bible?
Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: Sun, stand still over Gibeon; and Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon. So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people had revenge upon their enemies. Is this not written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hastened to go down for about a whole day. And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded a voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel (Joshua 10:12-14). I think the answer is NONE, because the sun does not rotate around the earth, the earth rotates around the sun. People in biblical times did not realize this, so it seemed as though the sun and moon stood still, Trick question.

What unusual request did Joshua ask of God?
Joshua asked God to cause the sun and the moon to stand still (in the language of appearance). This was achieved by stopping the earth's rotation.
What would happen to the moon if the earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on it?
If the Earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on the moon, it would slingshot away from the earth, but because of the gravitational pull of the sun, it would eventually settle into a stable orbit around the sun.
The idea that the earth moves and the sun stands still was resisted through culture or religion because?
The thought of the sun moving comes from the book of Joshua chapter 10 verse 12 and 13.

When earth was stopped to move in the history Is it true And how?
Seems unlikely. If the Earth stopped, gravity would become very uneasy and everything would fall off. ___________________ In the book of Joshua chapter 10 verses 12 through 14 tells the story of the sun and moon standing still. This was done by the Lord God. ____________________ That's in the story of one of Joshua's campaigns of wholesale slaughter, with the assistance of God to give him an edge over the foe. It is just a story, probably allegorical. ____________________
