No, because gravity has to do with mass, not rotation.

If it weren't for gravity, the rotation would cause people to fly off into space. Every object is supposed to go in a straight path forever, unless countered by another object. For example:

If you have a a circle, with a small opening (_) (but with the bottom slightly more rounded), and you put a marble inside and gave it a slight push, it would go around the ring, till it reaches the opening, where it will leave in a straight path. The thing stopping it is the ring, exerting an inward force on it. The Earths rotation is pushing us in our natural straight path, and gravity is like the ring, stopping us from leaving by exerting an inward force on us towards the center of the Earth (the surface is keeping us from going to the core; the surface of Earth acts as the ring, also pushing an inward force on us , which to us will push us out. However, gravity keeps us from floating, for being so strong. The gravity is so strong because of the close distance between us and the Earth, plus the Earths mass is very large).

Anyway, rotation causes us to leave Earth in our natural straight path, and Earths gravity keeps us here; henceforth, Gravity and Rotation have nothing to do with each other.

I apologize if there is any mistakes (probably not, but perhaps). I am not a teacher nor an adult, so it is plausible that I have some information wrong, nothing major, but perhaps a few words here and there are incorrect. It should be overall correct.

How using Earth's rotation speed to escape gravity?

Earth's rotation speed doesn't affect the ability to escape Earth's gravity. Escaping Earth's gravity requires reaching a velocity of about 11.2 km/s regardless of Earth's rotation speed. Earth's rotation does provide a slight boost to the velocity required to escape in the direction of the rotation.


How does gravity cause day and night?

Gravity does not directly cause day and night. Earth's rotation on its axis is what causes day and night. As Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are either facing towards the Sun (daytime) or away from the Sun (nighttime). Gravity is the force that keeps objects, including Earth, in orbit around the Sun.


What does the moon's gravity cause?

The moon's gravity causes ocean tides on Earth due to its gravitational pull on the water. It also contributes to the slight variations in Earth's rotation known as tidal acceleration and tidal locking.


Does the sun's rotation cause gravity?

The sun's rotation does not cause gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force of attraction between objects with mass, and it is always present regardless of whether an object is rotating or stationary. Rotation affects other aspects of a celestial body's behavior, such as its shape and magnetic field, but not the force of gravity itself.


How does rotation affect the value of gravity at the earth surface?

The (centripital) force due to rotation is at its greatest at the equator, if you weigh 100 kg, the force of gravity on you = approx. 982 n anywhere on earths surface, the centripetal force at the equator = 3.4 n

What whould happen if the time of rotation for Earth was different?

The days would be longer, and the gravity would be higher if the rotation time of earth was longer. The days would be shorter, and there would be less gravity on Earth if the rotation time decreased.

What would happen if the earth rotation slowed down?

If the Earth's rotation slowed down, our we would have less gravity, and when we have less gravity we have things floating around for long nights and long days (also due to the planet slowing down). This can lead to many dis functions and could cause the appearance of anti-matter.
