Yes. Stand up, and it will rotate slower. Sit down, and it will rotate faster. Of course, the difference will be so small that you won't notice it.
Now that we have very accurate "atomic clocks", scientists can measure changes in the Earth's period of rotation.
In fact, the Earth's rotation speed does vary slightly.
Some of the variations are predictable, caused by the gravitational effects of other bodies.
Other variations are random and unpredictable. There are many possible causes.
However, in the long term, the Earth is slowing down.
The rotation period is slowing by about one second in 50,000 years.
To change the rotation speed quickly would require an enormous input
of energy. It's not something Humans can do ...yet.

What causes seasonal change on the earth?
the rotation of the earth around the sun
What causes seasons to change in the northern and southern hemisphere as the earth revolves the sun?
earth rotation on axis
What causes the 24 hour change in the sky?
earth completes a full rotation on its axis and thats why we have day and night because of much direct light earths getting from the sun
What causes daylight hours?
Rotation of the Earth.
What does the earths rotation do?
The Earth's rotation greatly enhances the even distribution of heat from insolation, and is the cause of the 24-hour night and day cycle of illumination over most of the Earth.
How the Earth's precession differ from the Earth's rotation?
Precession refers to a gradual change in the direction of Earth's axis of rotation.
What change the season on earth?
the rotation of the earth around the sun
What causes the change of the season?
The rotation of the Earth
What causes seasonal change on the earth?
the rotation of the earth around the sun
Would earth change tilt if stopped spinning?
The "tilt" is related to Earth's axis of rotation; both the axis of rotation and the tilt would be undefined if there were no rotation.
Movement that causes shadows to change?
the rotation of earth
Did the 2004 tsunami change the rotation of the earth?
Yes it did.
What will happen if the earth changes rotation and revolution?
It would depend on the degree and time frame of change and how that change was brought about. The rotation of the earth is very slowly changing. It is slowing down.
How will the Earth rotate without moon?
The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.

What are affects of earths rotation?
When the earth spins the seasons change
What would happen to the amount of energy received from the Sun if the rotation of the Earth changed?
Nothing. Provided the earth remains in the same orbit, then a change of rotation would not change the amount of solar energy reaching the earth.
What are the causes of the change of seasons?
The earth orbiting the sun and the tilt in the earth's axis or rotation.
