The day/night cycles would be much slower if the orbital speed remained the same.

What would be the effect on your daily life if the Earth rotated more slowly?

If the Earth rotated at a slower rate, the days and nights will be longer. There would be an increase in temperatures which could lead to greater pressure gradients and stronger and more violent winds and hurricanes. The Earth's flora and fauna would have to evolve and adapt to the changes, otherwise life will start to die out.


If the earth rotated faster would time go faster?

No.


What would happen if you ate Mercury?

You would slowly die from the brain damage mercury causes.


What would happen if earth rotated east to west?

we would go back in time


If the earth rotated quickly what would happen?

A theory says that time would be quicker.


Would you weigh the same on mercury as you do on earth?

No. On Mercury you would weigh 37% of what you weigh on Earth.


What would stay the same if earth rotated and revolved in the opposite direction?

Everything The sun provides for earth

Are heavier on Earth or Mercury?

You would be only 38% of your weight on Mercury as you are on earth. If you weigh 180 pounds on earth you would then only weigh 68.4 pounds on Mercury.


If the earth rotated more slowly would you expect it to have as strong a magnetic field?

No it would probably weaken. The Earth's magnetic field is due to a combination of two factors: Earth's relatively high iron content and Earth's relatively high rotation speed. If you reduced either factor you should expect the magnetic field's strength to be reduced.

Are things heavier on Mercury or earth?

Mercury has less gravity, so objects on Mercury would weigh less than they would on Earth
