A very, very long time! The Earth will still be spinning when the Sun dies, and it will probably still be rotating slowly if/when the Universe nears its end!

The Earth rotates around the Sun, and around its own axis.

The Earth will still be spinning in 5 billion years when the Sun will turn into a red giant star and obliterate it.

The Earth's rotation around its own axis is continuously slowing down. The main reason is believed to be the act of tidal friction (primarily caused by the moon's action on the ocean). It slows down at 1.7ms every 100 years. At this rate it will take almost 1.9 trillion years to stop spinning.

The rotation around the Sun is slowing at the rate of 1.4ms every year - or 23 billion years to stop orbiting the sun.

Howerver, this slowing can be accelerated, and if it goes much slower than it is now, 2/3 will be inhabitable, we will run out of air, cities will be flooded and some will get dry.

Will the earth stop rotating for one hour?

No, unless something makes it stop. It would take a tremendous amount of energy to make the rotation stop and then start again. There is a law of conservation of rotational momentum; a rotating object like the Earth can't simply stop rotating by itself, it would require an outside force to do that.

What would happen if an impact caused earth to stop rotating?

If an impact caused the earth to stop rotating it would have already caused damage. For example: If a meteor hit the earth it would crack the earth into pieces, therefore we would be frozen in the darkness for half a year and toasted from the sun the other half.

Why does the earth go aroud the sun?

Because the cloud of material from which it formed was rotating, and there is nothing in space to stop it.


What is the value of 'g' if the earth stops rotating?

If the Earth were to stop rotating, the value of 'g' (acceleration due to gravity) would remain approximately the same at the Earth's surface. The rotation of the Earth does not significantly affect the gravitational pull experienced on the surface.
