The variation of the apparent azimuth and altitude of everything we see in the sky is the result of Earth's rotation.
Observations that repeat at regular intervals of nearly 24 hours ... nearly the same time every day or night ... are the result of earth's axial rotation. Observations that repeat at regular intervals of roughly one year are the result of earth's orbital revolution.
Yes there is, you can clearly see when its day or night. Its so detailed, you can actually see what part of the day it is, morning, afternoon, evening, night

An eclipse is caused by the moon blocking sunlight from reaching parts of earth. This can only happen when the moon is directly between the earth and sun. As the earth orbits the sun, it's angle of orbit changes throughout the year. This is what causes the seasons to change. It also allows different parts of the world to see an eclipse depending on the season and angle of orbit that the earth happens to be in. Earth's rotation slightly moves the location of an eclipse along as the earth rotates. (parallel to a line of longitude) A lunar eclipse is when the earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon.
Mainly, there would be no seasons.
The earths rotation effects whether it is night or day (so you'll see the moon at night).

No. This is because if you see the sky from any tall building, you'll see the clouds nearer. Therefore, when this happens, the movement of the clouds appears much closer. This creates an impression of the earth rotating.
There would be many changes. First there would be only one season all the time with minor differences when Earth is at perihelion and aphelion. The time of sunrise and sunset would not change and at the equator there would be 12h or night and day.
You never see the far side of the moon. Somewhat coincidently the moon has an angular rotation as the earths rotation, and therefore the same side of the moon is always facing earth. The far side is never seen. To the extent that the rotations are not exact, there may be a slight variation over many, many years.
The earths temperature would cool down. So, you see, The earth is attempting to reverse the effects of global warming. God wins again. Next question.
It takes the moon 27.322 days to orbit the Earth. While the moon rotates, the moon also rotates. Due to this rotation, we always see the same side of the moon.
In the same way we see brightness from the Moon as a result of the Sun shining on it, you would see brightness on the Earth from the Moon when the Sun is shining on it. You would not be able to see normal lights, like street lights, from the Moon.
