If the Earth stopped rotating then you'd still have a cycle of light
and dark; you'd have a year-long day.



Why would there still be a dark/light cycle if the earth stopped
rotating? Why would it be a year long?

Sloppy question.
Which inertial frame 'Earth stopped moving'?

1. Solar: Earth swings around sun, facing it.
Light & dark sides.

2. Galactic: Earth swings around sun, facing center of galaxy.
Year-long day.

3. Extra-galactic: Earth stops while sun goes around galaxy.
Very dark.

4. Other ?

Ok. What would it take for there to be no dark/light cycle?

If the Earth stopped rotating you would lose your 'axial tilt'
explanation for seasonal variations in daylight/darkness which occur
anyway regardless of axial rotation and orientation.The seasonal
change arises from orbital motion along with the global variations in
the natural noon cycle when allied with axial rotation and using
natural noon as a benchmark.

Very rare that a large modification such as replacing variable axial
inclination with a new orbital component is allowed to drift as this
insight has,but it is done nonetheless and there for any person who
wishes to reason through the details.No person who truly grasps it
would dare pretend that the insight is not a huge departure from
previous' variable axial tilt' explanations or try to assimilate the
insight without regard for the enormous and sometimes painful effort
put in.

Hi:

The 1st and obvious answer is that half the world would be night and the
other half would be day without change.

You're wrong already.

Quit while you're not ahead.

(Woo, ..clever...) So how come a clever guy like you can't work out
the nonsenses in Plate Tectonics Stuart? Like the crust forcing the
mantle down subduction zones? Cos it's lighter? . (I mean
denser...) ...And floating. I mean sinking.

Quick question - is crude oil denser or less dense than water? Then how
come it floats?

It depends on how you define "stopped spinning".

Technically in most gravitational systems the length of a spin slows
down to a length of a revolution with one day = one year.
Focucault's pendulum would still precess with a one year
cycle indicating there is still spinning going on.

Do you know when the wheels on your car stop turning/spinning/
moving.The guy had a good question if you can actually understand the
concept of a spinning Earth.

Do you know when sometimes you are outside you can see the stars and
at other times you can see a bright and shiny ball in the sky ,well
that is caused by a spinning Earth and if it stops spinning you get a
year long day of daylight and darkness.

Focucault's pendulum would still precess with a one year

Foucault's pendulum is based on axial rotation occuring beneath the
swiinging pendulum and at the poles,where the  rotational forces
acting perpendicular to the rate of change is absent,the ground
registers a movement beneath the swinging pendulum of 24 hours 360
degrees,not a second more or a second less -

Considering that I have yet to meet an individual who is capable of
recognising rotational geodynamics involved in crustal geodynamics or
people who have an adult  regard for physical considerations in
respect to astronomical,geological or climatological causes and
effects,people will have more regard for your erroneous response and
conclusion than they will for working through the physical effects to
come to a satisfactory conclusion.

Btw,you are not to blame,you are just doing what everyone else

  that is stone cold OPAICK  word salad.   not even opaque.
