The earth at the equator is spinning at about 1000 miles per hour. If the earth suddenly stopped spinning, everything on earth would continue moving at 1000 miles per hour, including all humans, animals, buildings and oceans. Nearly all life on earth would be extinguished in a mater of minutes. See the link below for more information.

What would the surface of the Earth eventually look like if the Earth's plates stopped moving?

If Earth's tectonic plates stopped moving, the surface would eventually become smoother with less mountain-building activity and earthquakes. The existing landforms would erode over time, eventually leading to a more uniform landscape with fewer areas of high relief. Volcanic activity would decrease as well.


What would happen if the earth stopped moving what would be the scene after two months?

Stopped moving... With respect to what? Any movement must be specified with respect to something. Anyway, if Earth stopped moving around the Sun, the Sun's gravity would attract Earth towards the Sun - i.e., Earth would fall towards the Sun. The time it would take the Earth to actually reach the Sun can be calculated using Kepler's Third Law.


How might earth's climates be different if earth were not tilted on it's axis?

Earth's climates might be different because they won't be the same


What are two ways life would be different if earth did not have to the motion of revelution?

Without Earth's revolution, there would be no changing of seasons as the tilt of Earth's axis creates the different seasons. Additionally, the length of a day would not have a fixed basis as it is influenced by the rotation and revolution of the Earth.

What would happen if earth stops rotating and revolving?

If the earth stopped revolving, it would be drawn into the sun. It could crash into Venus or Mercury on its way into the Sun, or it could just crash into the sun and be vaporised. In the circumstances, whether or not it stopped rotating is a bit irrelevant. Nevertheless, since you asked, one side of the earth, facing the Sun would heat up while the other cooled.The main problem is if it stopped revolving. It would be attracted by the Sun, fall towards it, and fall into the Sun in a few months.


Would half of he earth freeze if the earth stopped revolving around the sun?

No.the Earth would be stuck in one season. it would be dark and the dark side of Earth qould have less food and animal life and human-life would probably end :'(

Do you see the same face of the moon as someone halfway around the world or more precisely has the moon stopped its rotation and is just revolving around the earth?

The Moon constantly has the same face turned toward the Earth. That means that it rotates once per month. (If it had stopped rotating completely, then each phase of the Moon would show us something different - but it is always the same. )


What would happen if the earth stopped rotating and revolving?

If the Earths core stopped rotating, we will either freeze to death if we're away from the sun, or we'll boil to death if we're towards the sun.There will be no night or no day.


What would happen if Earth stops revolving around the sun but sits stationary in one spot?

The Earth would fall into the Sun.


What if the earth will stop revolving around the sun?

The earth would be attracted by the sun, and as it came closer the sun, the earth would melt. The earth would probably collide with the sun before or after it would melt.


If the earth stopped revolving when the northern hemisphere was pointed towards the sun would you have longer nights or days?

All you would have is a day where the Northern Hemisphere was pointed at the sun. The side opposite would be in permanent night. it would have nothing to do with Hemispheres but with which side is pointed to the sun. Alternate: If by 'pointed towards' you mean at the same angle as the current tilt, then the answer would be a little different. But the answer would depend on where you are. Or are you one of the many who assume that the northern hemisphere is the only one? If you are in the northern hemisphere, you would have longer daytime periods than night. It would be opposite in the southern hemisphere.


What will happen if the earth starts rotating and revolving in the opposite direction?

The season progression would reverse.


What happens if earth stops revolving?

It would get drawn, by gravity, into the sun and just get burnt up.


How would you know the earth is revolving around the sun?

You would'nt really. Not unless you were in space, watching the earth for days on end. But that would be nearly impossible, as you would be looking at the sun.
