Until an expert can improve it, this will be a layman's answer. Since it would take longer to make a full circuit of the Sun, a year would include more days, and the seasons would be longer, IF the rate of rotation of the Earth stayed the same. Ditto on the layman's answer. I think that it depends on how much "slowing" we are talking about. If it slowed to a stop and then were left on its own, it would speed toward the sun, probably in something like a spiral trajectory, and would more than likely eventually crash in. If it slows, but not to the point of heading toward solar destruction, I think the orbit would degrade into a more eccentric ellipse and depending on the eccentricity of the orbit the earth may make itself vulnerable to a collision with Venus or Mars.

What will happen if the earth becomes flat?
If the spherical Earth as we know it suddenly became flat, it would stop rotating, and the Sun and cosmic radiation would eventually destroy it.
How do typhoons happen?
What are the two main motions of the earth?
rotating and revolution
What charicteristic of the earth makes it a giant magnet?
Rotating iron core.
Why is the moon slower than the earth?
Now, stop and think about that question for a minute. If the moon was slower than the Earth, wouldn't it be really far behind us after 4 billion years?
What happens if earth starts rotating faster what happens if earth starts rotating faster?
Nothing will happen because of the gravity
What will happen if the earth starts rotating and revolving in the opposite direction?
The season progression would reverse.
What happens when earth start rotating at a slower speed?
then we die
What will happen if the earth starts rotating at a faster speed?
I'm sure it would effect the earth's electromagnetic field as it is the spinning of the earth's core that creates the field.
What happen when earth is not going rotating?
Earth will have day on one side and night on the other and everyone will die.
What will happen if the earth started rotating faster?
It would effect the earth's electromagnetic field as it is the spinning of the earth's core that creates the field.
How does day happen?
the earth revolves around the sun while rotating and forms a day
What would happen as a result of earth rotating through a full circle?
the air change
What force acts on the Moon to keep one hemisphere facing the Earth?
Tidal forces made it rotate that way. We can assume that in the far past, it may have rotated faster; tidal forces made it slow down. (In principle, it's also possible that it rotated slower and that tidal forces made it speed up.) Similarly, the Earth is rotating slower and slower; one far day in the future, the Earth will always show the same side to the Moon. Of course, once an object is rotating at a certain speed, it requires no force to make it continue rotating.
What would happen if earth stopped rotating and if its axis were perpendicular to its orbit?
Stoped rotating. A day would take a year. Perpendicular. There would be no seasons.
What will happen if the earth stop rotating and revolving?
then their is na day and night and time willbe stop
What will happen if earth stops rotating and revolving?
then their is na day and night and time willbe stop
