Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation.
With respect to the earth itself (disregarding the earth's orbital displacement during a rotation), it forms a circle or, more specifically, a line of latitude.
An effect of the earth movements becoming slow is that the rotation of the earth will increase. The slow movement has also made the mountains rise and creating more earthquakes.
Venus, as well as the Earth, has flipped on its axis several times in the past. This was caused when Venus' rotation around the sun encountered the Earth, the last time being approximately five million years ago. Though it now spins backwards, in the beginning of our solar system it spun just like the Earth.
No. Solar flares do not affect Earth's rotation.
I would say, basically false. What stars you see in the evening - apart from your geographical position (more north, or more south) - depends on Earth's position in relationship to the Sun, and this depends on Earth's movement around the Sun.
The effects are day, night and year.

The effect of the Earth's rotation on air circulation is called the Coriolis Effect.

Day and night for a start. The velocity of the rotation of Earth has had various effects over time, including the Earth's shape (an oblate spheroid), climate, ocean depth and currents, and tectonic forces

It swirls due to the earth's rotation.
Yes. The energy from the tides ultimately comes from Earth's rotation; due to friction during the tides, Earth's rotation will logically get slower and slower.
Well, it is when the earth always spins around the sun. It causes night, evening, and day.
The earth's rotation and orbital motion is responsible for the days and nights on the planet. This movement is also responsible for the changes in the seasons.
