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.

∙ 15y agoThe spin of the earth does not cause gravity. Gravity is cause by the attraction of matter to one another. The surface of the earth is where gravity is the strongest, because the entire earth is "below" you, pulling on you.
If you could move through the Earth towards the center, gravity would decrease as more of the Earth rises above you counteracting the effects of the matter below you. When you reach the center of the Earth, you would in effect be in zero-g (or micro gravity) as the earth is pulling you equally from all sides. Of course, the pressure and temperature would be great to say the least.
Back on the surface, the farther upwards you travel, the less gravity you feel (not counting the force accelerating you upwards). This is because the farther away you get from the Earth, the less "pull" it has on you.
Hope this answers your question

∙ 14y agoThe earth would, quite literally, explode. The core of our planet is, to a high degree, molten iron under extreme pressure and temperature. This pressure is caused by the force of gravity trying valiantly to crush the planet. Removal of this pressure would cause rapid expansion, the mantle (bit between the core and crust) is mostly molten rock and the crust is a thin layer of solid rock... that would offer very little in the way of resistance to such force.
The earth would pop like a balloon.

What would happen if earth didn't have gravity?
If the earth had no gravity it follows that gravity would be absent from any mass. In the absence of gravity life would not exist.
How is gravity useful?
Gravity is a force that keeps things from floating in mid air. Without it you would have been out of the earth by now!! Gravity is a strength deep under the earth (from the inside). Hope this was useful..
What is it when there is no net force of gravity?
When there is no net force of gravity, all the opposing forces of gravity cancel out. For example, most of the way to the moon, the gravity pulling from the moon would cancel out the gravity from the Earth. At that point, there would be no net force of gravity. KEEP IN MIND, that this is something very different from the weightless feeling you get when falling. When falling, gravity still affects you (hence you accelerate downwards). If there is no net force of gravity, gravity will not affect you at all.
What would happen if we didn't have gravity?
Without gravity, none of the stars or planets would maintain their forms. Gravity allows the Sun to maintain its energy generation while remaining as a single mass. Gravity allows the Earth to hold its atmosphere. Indeed, gravity is the force that forms stars and planets, although the trigger that begins the process is still unclear.
Why is gravity important in your lives?
If it weren't for gravity, we would fly off the earth.
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.
Is the gravitational force of earth and moon the same?
No, essentially mass = gravity the earths mass is roughly 81 * that of the moon, if you stood at the same distance from both, the force on you from the earth would be 81 * that of the moon.
What would happen if earth didn't have gravity?
If the earth had no gravity it follows that gravity would be absent from any mass. In the absence of gravity life would not exist.
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.
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.
Would gravity squash the person on Earth?
No. You experience Earth's gravity constantly.
How does gravity affect the earth?
If the Earth didn't have gravity, we would be floating in the air and nothing would be in its place.
Is the gravity of earth is because of it rotation?
No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.
