The Earth spins like a top, at a rate of one revolution per day, or 15 degrees per hour. (It is actually a trifle slower than that, 1 rev per 23 hours 56 minutes.) We all know that "centrifugal force" causes (or appears to!) things to be pushed away from the center, and in the absence of gravity, we would all be flung off the Earth like riders on a runaway carousel.
So if the Earth were rotating more slowly, our weight due to gravity would be higher. SLIGHTLY. Trivially. Honestly, you wouldn't notice the difference.

If Earth didn't rotate would there be day and night?
No because if the earth did not rotate there would either be only day or only night .
Why would there be no polar region if Earth's axis was not tilted?
Even if the earth was tilted, it would still rotate on its own axis. The axis would meet the earth at the poles and the regions surrounding those points would be polar regions. That would be true whatever the earth's tilt.
If you weight 100 pounds on Earth What would you weight on Mars?
Mars's gravitational pull is 38% that of Earth's, meaning you would weigh 38 pounds on that planet.
Would you fall down to the ground if you stepped on earth in space?
If you were close enough to the earth than yes, but you would never reach the ground, you would be burned up in the atmosphere. You would slowly drift closer as the earth is surrounded by gravity and it gets weaker the farther away you get from the earth.
Why do the global winds curve like they do?
Global winds are caused by unequal heating of the Earth's surface and they curve because... If the Earth did not rotate, Global Winds would not curve. They would be straight as a line. So because of EARTH'S ROTATION, global winds curve.
What happen to the acceleration due to gravity if earth stop revolving?
GRAVITYThe acceleration due to gravity is a force related to Earth's mass and is not dependent on its rotation - gravity would not change if the Earth ceased to rotate. WEIGHT However, if the Earth ceased to rotate, someone standing on the equator would weigh more - this increase in weight effect would decrease as you moved the person to the poles to do the comparison.
How would the moon appear to an observe on earth if the moon did not rotate?
it would still appear to rotate
How would the moon appear to an observer on earth if the moon did not rotate?
it would still appear to rotate
What happens if the Earth didn't have gravity?
The earth would not rotate.
If the earth didn't rotate would the earth still have tides?
No
What if the moon did not rotate around earth?
If the moon didn't rotate around the Earth, it would be to dark to see at night and eclipses would not exist!
What would happen if the earth did not rotate around the sun would the earth still have its seasons?
No
If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?
Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.
Why is the side of the moon is always facing earth?
The moon does not rotate on its own axis like Earth does. If you were on the moon looking at the earth you would see it slowly turning. As you have observed,we only see the same side of the moon from earth because the moon does not turn on its own axis.
If Earth didn't rotate would there be day and night?
No because if the earth did not rotate there would either be only day or only night .
What kind of wind system would earth have if it did not rotate?
it would be nothin
Which planet rotates most slowly about it axis?
You would think that the largest planet, Jupiter, would rotate the slowest (every 9 earth days and 15 minutes), but it is actually Venus that rotates the slowest at one rotation every 243 earth days.
