If the Earth did not rotate on its axis relative to the background stars, then one day would last a year. We would get 6 months of night time, then six months of daytime - which would cause havoc with the climate. The planet would be inhabitable as the night side would cool down too much and the day side would heat up too much. The day/night cycle would last a year, since the earth would still revolve around the sun once in that time to give us one long day.
If the moon didn't rotate around the Earth, it would be to dark to see at night and eclipses would not exist!
it would be nothin
Once an object, any object, such as the Earth, is set in motion to rotate in a particular direction, it will always continue to rotate in that direction. For the Earth to rotate in another direction would take an enormous, cataclysmic force that would have to be created by a gigantic object colliding with it, or at least coming very close to it.

The rotation of the Earth is noticeable now. Ever watched a sunset?
That would be June 21st during the Summer solstice.be
Half of the earth's surface, and all the people on it, would have 72 hours of continuous, sun-up daylight, whilethe other half of the earth's surface, and all the people and plants on it, would have 72 hours of continuous,sun-down darkness.
it would still appear to rotate
it would still appear to rotate
The earth would not rotate.
No
If the moon didn't rotate around the Earth, it would be to dark to see at night and eclipses would not exist!
There would be no life on Earth
No
No because if the earth did not rotate there would either be only day or only night .
it would be nothin
Rotation. It takes 24 hours to rotate fully one time. The side facing the sun is in daylight, the side facing away is in night. An interesting fact is that in order for us to experience 365 days in a year, the Earth has to rotate 366 times as it revolves around the sun in that year.
