The duration of the day is directly related to Earth's rotation (spinning). If Earth would spin slower, the days would get longer. This is not hypothetical; Earth is indeed spinning slower and slower - although that's not a quick process, but one that has been going on for millions of years.

In the hypothetical case that Earth stopped spinning altogether - though this is not likely to happen - the length of a day would be equal to a year; sunrise and sunset would be caused by Earth's movement around the Sun.

What happens when the earth stop spinning?

The earth wont stop spinning unless something big hits it - then we would all die from the collision. A counter rotational force is required to stop the earths spin, otherwise it will just go on rotating.


Why the gravitational acceleration increases if earth stops spinning?

When the earth is spinning, the rotation along with gravity creates centrifugal force. This is the same as the force that happens when you swing a yo-yo around by the string, the string is like gravity in that scenario holding the yo-yo close to you.

What happens when the blade of a helicopter stops spinning in the sky?

If a helicopter blade stops spinning in the sky, the helicopter will experience a rapid descent known as autorotation. This is when the airflow through the rotor keeps the blades spinning, allowing the helicopter to land safely even without engine power. It requires skilled piloting to execute successfully.
