1). The day would be shorter than 24 hours. 2). There would be more days in a year. 3). Areas of atmospheric high- and low-pressure would be more pronounced, with higher winds and more active weather systems surrounding them. 4). Theoretically, all objects would appear to weigh less than they do now. #1, #2, and #3 would be very noticeable. #4 would not be very noticeable unless the earth rotated MUCH faster than it does now. Some possible effects that are "farther out": -- increased earthquake and volcanic activity, and changes in terrestrial magnetic field behavior, over geologic time periods, due to modified internal heat generation and distribution caused by increased tidal friction; -- increased rate of rotational de-celeration, also due to increased tidal effects; -- increased rate of expansion of the moon's orbital distance, due to accelerated rate of exchange of angular momentum within the 2-body system.

What would happen if Earth did not rotate?
If the Earth didn’t rotate, it would lose its magnetic field, which means it would lose its atmosphere and radiation would rain down from space.
What would happen if the earth spun faster?
if the earth spun faster we would have shorter days. if the earth orbited around the sun faster we would have a shorter year.
What would happen if the earth does not rotate?
Seasons would stop. There would be no change in day or night.

What would happen if the earth rotates faster?
Measurements of time would become shorter, and the seasons would occur faster.
What would happen if the earth took longer to orbit around the sun?
As the Earth does not rotate evenly, but rather at a tilt, the seasons would be skewed.
What will happen if the earth starts to rotate and revolve in the opposite directions?
The season progression would reverse.
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 would happen if the earth rotated faster?
We wouldn't live because the wind speed of the Earth would be too great.
What will happen to the weight of the object if the earth were to rotate faster than its present speed?
The apparent force of gravity on earth is not the same all over, the spin of the earth means that you weigh less at the equator than at the poles, due to the centripetal force from the earths spin. You will weigh about 0.3% less at the equator. If the earth spun faster still, this difference would be even more apparent.
What would happen to the length of a day if earth rotated more quickly?
The day would shorten- night would come faster and day would come faster.
What would happen if earth began to rotate twice?
Actually I dont know, but I guess the rate of everything happeningnow would be twice as fast.
If earth didnt rotate would there be day and night?
No because if the earth did not rotate there would either be only day or only night .
What would happen when the earth is rotating?
What do you mean? Earth rotates already. And u can see the stuff that happens. When the Earth is rotating the same things happen as are happening now (presumably). However, should the earth rotate, gardeners (among others) would become very dizzy!
If earth did not rotate how would air at the equator move?
If Earth did not rotate the air that the equator would not move. The hot air at the equator would be stuck there.
How would the moon appear to an observer on earth if the moon did not rotate?
it would still appear to rotate
What would happen if the Earth spun faster on its axis?
the days will get shorter and there will be more days in a year.
What happens if the Earth didn't have gravity?
The earth would not rotate.
What would happen to the length of day if the earth took 40 hours to rotate?
In that case, the length of the day would also be approximately 40 hours.
What if the moon did not rotate around earth?
If the moon didn't rotate around the Earth, it would be to dark to see at night and eclipses would not exist!
What whould happen if you had no moon?
if there were no moon, there would be no light in the sky at night (earth would be a lot darker at night, earth's days would be longer (earth will rotate slower), and there will be no tides (the moon pulls the tides)
Why does the earth have only 24 hours in a day?
Because it takes planet earth 24 hours to completely rotate on it's axis. If it were any faster or slower, we would be able to feel the earth itself spinning.
If the earth did not rotate around sun would it be day or night?
First, the earth does not rotate around the sun, it orbits. The earth rotates around its own north-south axis. For these reasons, if the earth did not orbit the sun, it would still rotate on its own axis, and there would still be night and day.
