If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?

Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.


Would the measurement of gravity be affected by distance?

If one is hypothetically measuring gravity from a long distance, would there be a delay between the gravity encompassed by a source and the gravity detected from a distance, similarly to how there is a delay in the measurement of light from a distance?I know that gravity might be independent from time since it is influence by an object's existence. But then again, gravity is a part of space-time.


Would newtons change on the moon?

No. Newtons are a measurement of mass and are relative only to Earth's gravity and are not affected by changes in gravity. Only weight is affected by changing gravity. On Earth, weight and mass are the same because Earth's gravity is the benchmark constant for measuring mass in Newtons, and weight is affected by that very same factor (Earth's gravity). On other planets, mass is unchanged because the Earthly gravity is a constant (and therefore, unchanged), and the weight changes because now it is affected by a new planetary gravity.


What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?

The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.

How are weight and mass affected by gravity?

Mass is not affected by gravity. Weight is the result of the force of gravity acting on mass.
