No, you would not fall off the earth if it stopped spinning. Earth's gravity, which holds you onto the planet now, will still hold you onto itself.if wat u mean is lik if the earth suddenly stopped spinning would u fall off;obviously impossible, but if it was to happen u would not fall off but u would get shot a few miles in the direction that the eaarth was spinning before due to ur enertia (aka an object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by another force... lik the wall). tht would b cool though if u didnt die from it. and even cooler if u were in a helecopter. o.o if u were hovering still in Connecticut, the next second you'd b in lik new york. ud b lik wtf? this thing has more kick than i thought. so to answer ur question briefly, if the earth suddenly stopped spinning, u would not fall off... but it would b very painful.
but if u mean tht if the earth stopped spinning would there still b gravity, then yes there would still b gravety. all matter makes gravity. spinning doesnt make gravity. gravity is caused by the way tht matter creates a warp in the fabric of space time. other objects tend to fall into it if close enough. (u make gravity too)
so lik ya tht pretty much covers it.
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.
we will have the same weather when the earth stopped at that moment like for example when the earth stopped spinning in the day like at two in the afternoon than it will stay sunny in that area for eterninty get it don't contact me at the weather man.com
Mars has weaker gravity than Earth. The gravity on Mars is about 38% of the gravity on Earth. This means that objects on Mars weigh less than they would on Earth.
Yes, Earth would still have gravity without the sun. Gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass, so Earth's gravity is due to its own mass, not just the presence of the sun. The sun's gravity does impact Earth's orbit and tides, but Earth would still have its own gravitational field even without the sun.
The gravity of Earth is 2.6 times that of Mars.
No, the atmosphere is held in place by gravity, not centripetal force. If the earth stopped spinning, there would be no coriolis force though. This would stop deflecting the moving air in the atmosphere.
Diurnal cycle
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.
No, the mass dictates the gravitational forces.
Most definitely but it would take a while
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.
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.
If the Earth stopped spinning completely, there would be just one day and one night a year. Six months of daylight would be followed by six months of night. ... The spinning of the Earth is also partially responsible for the Earth's magnetic field. No spin means no magnetic field HOPE THAT HELP!
The "tilt" is related to Earth's axis of rotation; both the axis of rotation and the tilt would be undefined if there were no rotation.
The duration of the day is directly related to Earth's rotation (spinning). If Earth would spin slower, the days would get longer. This is not hypothetical; Earth is indeed spinning slower and slower - although that's not a quick process, but one that has been going on for millions of years. In the hypothetical case that Earth stopped spinning altogether - though this is not likely to happen - the length of a day would be equal to a year; sunrise and sunset would be caused by Earth's movement around the Sun.
Nothing. One side would freeze to death, and the other side would be in constant sunlight, providing no rain. They would die of thirst. Comments: 1) That answer assumes "synchronous rotation" with the same side of the Earth always facing the Sun. Even then I don't think all life would die out. 2) If the Earth stopped spinning completely there would be 6 months daylight alternating with 6 months night, as the Earth moved around its orbit. That would be a bit better for life on Earth probably. However, that is not going to happen, because of the way gravity works.
