A very, very long time! The Earth will still be spinning when the Sun dies, and it will probably still be rotating slowly if/when the Universe nears its end!
The Earth rotates around the Sun, and around its own axis.
The Earth will still be spinning in 5 billion years when the Sun will turn into a red giant star and obliterate it.
The Earth's rotation around its own axis is continuously slowing down. The main reason is believed to be the act of tidal friction (primarily caused by the moon's action on the ocean). It slows down at 1.7ms every 100 years. At this rate it will take almost 1.9 trillion years to stop spinning.
The rotation around the Sun is slowing at the rate of 1.4ms every year - or 23 billion years to stop orbiting the sun.
Howerver, this slowing can be accelerated, and if it goes much slower than it is now, 2/3 will be inhabitable, we will run out of air, cities will be flooded and some will get dry.
The spin of the earth on its axis, the rotation of of earth around the sun, and the similar motion of all other planets and bodies in our solarsystem wont change unless there is somthing to oppose the force. There is no air resistance in the vacuum of space to slow the earth down, so its in a cycle that will go on and on. It may end some day if something massive hits us, or when the sun expands at the end of its life.
There is alot of buzz going around saying its 2012, so get your kicks in now.
if your asking if earth ever stops rotating then that would be a no
Scientist's are trying to figure it out which is ok but only god knows when this earth will be over becuz he was the creator of this earth.
No. Nor has it ever rotated at a constant speed. The rotation of the earth is gradually slowing down.
yes the Earth is always spinning

The earth wont stop spinning unless something big hits it - then we would all die from the collision. A counter rotational force is required to stop the earths spin, otherwise it will just go on rotating.
because earth is rotating around itself while revolving around the sun
The Earth rotating causes day and night, it rotates every 24 hours. The Earth rotating causes day and night, it rotates every 24 hours.
A hurricane tells us about the Earth that it and its atmosphere are rotating (spinning).
It would mean that the Earth had stopped rotating.Even the complete disappearance of the Moon would not stop the tides,because the Sun has a lot of influence on them too. Even without theMoon, there would still be substantial tides, as long as Earth continuedto rotate.(Also note that if the Earth stopped rotating, the disappearance of the tideswould be the least of our problems.)Just to be clear, the tides will stop when the Earth stops rotating relative to the Moon. It would still have some rotation relative to the stars. The Earth's rotation is actually very slowly slowing down. So, eventually, the Moon should only be visible from one side of the Earth.Even then there would still be some rotation relative to the Sun. So, if you want to be really "picky" the tides would not stop completely.This process will take billions of years, so the Sun becoming a red giantmay "spoil" things.
if the earth stop rotating the gravity will not be there and finally we can all fly
If the Earth (more or less) stopped rotating.
we'd all die because we would feel earth stop rotating . because we can only feel acceleration and stopping
No, unless something makes it stop. It would take a tremendous amount of energy to make the rotation stop and then start again. There is a law of conservation of rotational momentum; a rotating object like the Earth can't simply stop rotating by itself, it would require an outside force to do that.
The earth will either freeze or overheat
then their is na day and night and time willbe stop

Of course anything is possible.
If an impact caused the earth to stop rotating it would have already caused damage. For example: If a meteor hit the earth it would crack the earth into pieces, therefore we would be frozen in the darkness for half a year and toasted from the sun the other half.
then their is na day and night and time willbe stop
Because the cloud of material from which it formed was rotating, and there is nothing in space to stop it.
The day/night cycle results from the Earth rotating.
