If it wasn’t for the rotation of the Earth, the winds would be more north/south in keeping with the temperature gradient at the surface.

One thing that would change is our greetings, we would all wish each other a nice diurnal anomaly.
Wait… What? I took it the way Colophon did. Otherwise, why was Superman even flying around the Earth? And how did he go backwards in time if it wasn’t by, ummm, “rewinding” the Earth?
And why am I even bothering asking these questions?

But it’s amazing how many people do seem to think that the only reason the Earth has gravity is that it’s rotating. Oh and of course, if you rotate it the other way a la Superman, then time goes backwards.
