No. Once an object starts spinning it does not need anything to keep it spinning. In fact it would take a force to stop the rotation. Earth has been rotating since it first formed and its angular momentum has kept it spinning.

Is earth in your solar system perfectly round or bumpy and round?
It should be obvious that the planet Earth is not perfectly round, since it has mountains, valleys, and other geographical features. It also bulges at the equator, as a result of the centrifugal force of its own rotation, and is therefore an oblate spheroid rather than a sphere.I also find it a bit strange that you refer to "your solar system" as if you come from a different solar system. As far as I know, only human beings from the planet Earth are participating in this discussion. We all come from the same planet in the same solar system. It is therefore our solar system.
Why is the earth part of the solar system?
When Earth was created, it was sucked into the Sun's gravitational field like the other 7 planets. That is why it revolves around the Sun.
Why is earth is a unique planet in our solar system?
Up to now, Earth is the only planet in our solar system that can sustain life as we know it.
Earth is different from the other planets in our solar system because it -?
Because (as far as we currently know) Earth is the only planet in our solar system that supports life.
Where do warm ocean currents originate from?
various forces, including heat from solar energy, gravity, and the Earth's rotation.
What keeps the earth moving?
The Gravity and Rotation in our solar system.
What would cause a planet to face the sun throughout the year?
Synchronous rotation or tidal locking. The Moon is in synchronous rotation about the Earth. Most major moons in the solar system have a synchronous rotation.
What is the cause of a hadley cell?
The rotation of the Earth and its spherical shape, and solar radiation
Can a solar flare stop the Earth's rotation?
No. Solar flares do not affect Earth's rotation.
Which two planets have the same rotation?
Earth and Mars are the planets in this solar system with similar rotation speed of approximately 24 hr.
What kind of rotation is called prograde?
Having a rotational or orbital movement that is the same as most bodies within a celestial system. In our solar system, prograde movement for both rotating and orbiting bodies counterclockwise when viewed from a vantage point above the Earth's north pole.
Is the rotation of the earth caused by the big bang?
No. It was simply random fluctuations in the primordial cloud that formed our Solar System.
What important rule does the planet earth contribute to the solar system?
The planet Earth is of no great importance to the solar system. It is too small to impact the orbits of the other planets to any extent and to small to perturb the rotation of the sun.
What does The force of gravity that Earth exerts on objects in your solar system cause?
the moon to orbit the earth
What is earth in the solar system?
Earth is a planet in the solar system
How many hours and minutes is earth's rotation time?
The period of earth's rotation on its axis is 23hours56minutes4seconds of mean solar time.
What kind of solar system is earth?
Earth is a planet, not a solar system.
