The acceleration due to gravity would not change, because gravity is not dependent on the earth's spin.
It remains the same. The equation for the acceleration of gravity only has radius, a constant, and the mass--nothing about rotation.
If the Earth stopped in it's orbit, then we would probably crash into the sun. This would happen because there is gravity and centrifugal force keeping the Earth in orbit. If the centrifugal force stopped, but gravity kept going then we would keep going until we hit something. Just like in space, If something is pushed by a greater force, it keeps going until something bigger stops it. This is Newtons first law of motion.
Obviously, the earth's rotation and evolution keeps the atmosphere intact, if it stops moving, it all will basically, with lack of better word, fall. Therefore, no life.
The earth turns on it's axis with a speed that's more than 1.040.4 mph. If Earth were to stop spinning, it would send a wind with a speed 1.040.4 mph, since that's how fast earth spins. This would send massive tsunamis and rip houses off the ground including trees and soil. It would be twice as much as a tornado, only on the whole earth. By the time the wind would slow down and stop, the earth would be demolished, and almost no life would be left. I imagine that the whole Earth would be covered in water from the tsunamis.
not possible.

There are two movements in the earth, rotation and revolution. The rotational movement causes days while the elliptical revolution causes the seasons and the concept of a year.

I am not sure what you mean by stop moving but if both movements ceased, we would no longer have "days" or "years." There would be a temperature differential from the side constantly receiving sun from the side never getting any sun. Time would not stop if that is your implication.

Can you feel gravity on top of a mountain?

Your weight is the result of the force of gravity. Without gravity you would be weightless and would float away. This does not happen on the top of mountains. Because you are farther from the center of the Earth, your weight is slightly less on top of a mountain, but compared to the diameter of the Earth, mountains are quite small, and the difference in weight is very slight, and would not even be noticed. So yes, you feel gravity on top of a mountain.


Would gravity on venus squash a human?

Yes, the gravity on Venus is about 91% of the gravity on Earth. So, a human on Venus would not be significantly squashed by the gravity, but they would feel heavier than on Earth due to the increased gravitational force.


What would happen if earth didn't have gravity?

Without gravity, everything on Earth would float off into space. There would be no atmosphere or oceans, and all living things would have a hard time surviving without the necessary conditions for life. The absence of gravity would also disrupt the orbits of celestial bodies, leading to chaos in the solar system.


Is there gravity on Mars?

Yes, but it is much less than on Earth. If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth you would weigh just 56.5 pounds on Mars. The specifics of the gravity on Mars is tjat it is 62% lower to be more precise. That means that Martian gravity is 38% of Earth's.


How much would an object weigh on earth if weighs 25 pounds on mercury?

Due to gravity, an object would weigh 3 times more on Earth than on Mercury, so the answer would be 75lbs

Would Earth have gravity without the sun?

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.


Why are the planets circle not square?

If they were square, then everything would be hard. If you stood on a vertex (corner), you would probably have reverse gravity and fall of the face of the earth.


If you pump all the air out of a room would there still be gravity?

Yes, there will still be gravity. The floor beneath you is still pulling you down towards the earth.


If you stood still long enough would there be tides in your tummy?

Even if the gravity forces where sufficient, the tummy's mashing of foods would interfere to much.


What would a desk weigh?

A desk or anything else would still weigh the same, but the Moon's gravity is only one-sixth of the Earth's gravity.


What would happen to your sense of gravity on earth if the sun were to suddenly disappear?

The same thing that happens every night when the sun disappears...nothing! Gravity on Earth is not dependent on the Sun. But life on Earth is, gravity would be the least of Earth's problems if the Sun dissapeared


Would there be a sky without gravity?

Yes, a sky would still exist even without gravity. Gravity is what holds our atmosphere close to Earth, but even without it, the atmosphere would still exist and interact with light to create the appearance of a sky.


Would a person float by gravity on mars?

No. The gravity on Mars is much weaker than the gravity on Earth but it is still significant. You could jump higher but you couldn't float.


Would Earth's gravity ever affect Pluto?

No, Earth's gravity would not affect Pluto. However, the suns gravity does.


What is the gravity mercury?

The gravity on Mercury is 38% of Earth's gravity. So, if you were 150mlbs on Earth, you would be 57 lbs on Mercury.


Is there gravity at 36000 kms from the surface of the earth?

Yes. Earth's gravity is still very present at 36,000 km. This is what keeps geosynchronous satellites in orbit. Earth is the dominant gravitational body much farther out than that, to a distance of about 1.5 million km. Beyond that distance there is still gravity, but the sun, not Earth, dominates.


If there was no Gravity on Earth would there still be water?

Yes, but inside the air, it would e humid but we wouldn't see it clearly.
