Yes, indeed it would. Gravity is not caused by the rotation of the Earth. In fact, there would be a very small increase in the "apparent gravity" at the Earth's surface because of the lack of a "centrifugal" effect.

Would the earth burn up if it stopped rotating?

nope :)


What would stop the earth from having tides?

If the Earth (more or less) stopped rotating.


What if the earth is not rotating on its axis?

Then the world would have no days or nights. We would just be either day or night depending on when the earth stopped rotating on it axis.


What would happen if earth stopped rotating and if its axis were perpendicular to its orbit?

Stoped rotating. A day would take a year. Perpendicular. There would be no seasons.


What if the earth stopped rotating?

we'd all die because we would feel earth stop rotating . because we can only feel acceleration and stopping


When gravity stops does that mean the world stoped rotating?

No, that would mean the Earth didn't exist any more. The fact that the Earth is spinning is not the cause of its gravity. Every object has gravity that pulls other objects towards it - even a pen, a desk or a house (but they only have tiny amounts). If gravity "stopped" the Earth must have shrunk or disappeared.


What things would not be affected if the earth stopped rotating?

Rotation affects the length of days and nights, weather patterns, and ocean tides. If the Earth stopped rotating, the impact would include drastic changes in temperatures, winds, and ocean currents, but the rotation would not affect gravity, the atmosphere, or the Earth's overall shape.


Is gravity responsible for the earth's axis?

Not sure what you mean exactly; any rotating object has an axis of rotation.Without gravity, there would basically be no Earth, though.


If the earth stopped rotating on its axis would there be day and night?

Yes, each would last six months.


What would happen to the moon if the earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on it?

If the Earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on the moon, it would slingshot away from the earth, but because of the gravitational pull of the sun, it would eventually settle into a stable orbit around the sun.


What would happen to earth if the sun's gravity suddenly stopped acting on it?

Gravity is an inherent property of matter; it is unrelated to the Earth's rotation. You may be asking if the centripetal force of the Earth's rotation is significantly counteracting the Earth's gravity. The answer is, "No." If the Earth were not rotating, your apparent weight would be no more than about 5% more than it is. If the Earth stopped in it's orbit, then we would probably crash into the sun. This would happen because there is gravity and centrifugal force keeping the Earth in orbit. If the centrifugal force stopped, but gravity kept going then we would keep going until we hit something. Just like in space, If something is pushed by a greater force, it keeps going until something bigger stops it. This is Newtons first law of motion.
