what happens when a person or object moves away from the earth?

that would depend on the velocity of the craft, the velocity the at you were pushed out with respect to the velocity of the craft, and what near by celestial or terrestrial bodies were near, to influence your movement with their gravitational pull...  if you wre set outside a ship, with zero velocity, and left, out in deep space... you would remain essentially motionless... if the same were done to you near the earth, you wold fall to the earth.. if you were pushed out the side door of the space shuttle while it orbited... you would most likely orbit several time before your orbit decayed and you would have a incredibly painful reentry... as short as the pain might be...

if it stops rotating, then immediately the atmosphere will collapse, we will either feel very heavy or get stuck to the ground. this is cause the earth's gravitational force is not compensated by the centrifugal force.then there is the problem of having the same time ( day or night).the persons who r exposed to the sun will die of heat while the persons on the opposite side will die of cold.\n     if it stops revolving, then we won't have our regular seasons, if u last that long).the earth will collapse into the sun, cause the earth's attraction towards the sun due to the sun's gravitational pull is not compensated by the centrifugal force developed due to the earth's revolution. many of us cant see tv or other satellite programs, etc and etc.

when you move something you move it from one spot to the other when you remove something you are taking the thing out so you cant see it and shift is just another way off saying move

This is basically Newton's law of inertia in action. All objects in motion will stay in motion and all objects at rest will stay at rest until an outside force is introduced. The most common outside force on Earth is friction. There is friction between the tablecloth and the objects on top of it. That's why if you pull the cloth slowly, the objects slide off, but when you pull the cloth quickly, you reduce the friction and the inertia of the objects makes them stay where they are.

no more gravity thus it and you will float out into space.

It will be from way out on a plane based on our orbital track. I think the intensity of the sun will block out the view of whether or not it goes behind or in front of the sun. The center of the universe, even though it is a non-existent place, for arguments sake, would be moving as everything in the universe is dynamic. (There is no end to infinite, therefore the center cannot be defined.)

No, the opposite. A person is lighter at the equator because of the centrifugal force generated by the Earth's rotation.

Besides the intense heat and pressure, gravity would be the major force acting on you (say if we lived in a world with no air resistance.) As you would get closer to the center of the earth you speed would be increasing, but once you start pulling away from the center you speed would be slowing down due to gravity pulling on you from the opposite direction. At the opposite side of the earth you find yourself to come to a standstill for a brief second until you get pulled back inward toward the center and emerge on the same side of the earth in which you started. You would be stuck in this cycle going from either side of the earth until someone threw you a rope and are able to pull yourself to the surface.

None specifically. \n\nAll celestial bodies rotate.  The earth is no different.

No effect. They're so far away their magnetic and gravitational fields have only the most infinitesimal influence on the Earth.

They would point away from the wind.  It would freeze solid before hitting the ground.  The waste product could then be broken off and disposed of in the nearest trash can.

Wold, huh? Now how do you know for certain that it is not the sun that goes around the wold? Hah! \n\nHere is how to think about that, and it is the basis for orbital mechanics: Imagine holding a cannonball and dropping it to the ground. It will fall straight down. Now, if you add a bit of horizontal motion, the cannonball will fall a short distance away from you. Imagine now that you can throw the cannonball horizontally with a great deal of force.  It will still eventually fall to the ground, maybe 100 yards away, 200 yards, whatever, depending on how hard you threw it.  Now, if you accept the notion that the earth is a sphere, that means that the surface of the earth is ever so slightly curved and would drop away from your perceived horizontal plane at the horizon.  Now if you could throw the cannonball hard enough, as it sped away horizontally two things would happen: (1) the cannonball would begin dropping to the earth, and (2) the earth would be curving down under the cannonball and away from it.  Now if you could throw this cannonball so hard that it would get away over the horizon, so far in fact that the earth would curve away as fast as the cannonball dropped towards it, then you would be in orbit, and end up circling all the way around back to where it started, and if had been going fast enough it would keep on orbiting. Increase the speed even more so it goes farther horizontally than the earth curves away vertically underneath it and you have reached escape velocity, which would send the cannonball off into space. \n\nSo if you subsitute the sun for the earth and the earth for the cannonball you can see why the earth orbits around the sun, it's the same idea.  If the earth were travelling along its orbit at a slower speed than it is it would fall into the sun; at a higher speed and it would fly off into space.

my interpretation is that the existance of humanity will be long enuf to see the montains move. think of it this way, if you were omnipotent and watched thre earth through time you would see the lands shift and mountains melt away with erosion.

The laws of physics say that an object in motoin will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.  It's hard to conceive of anything that would make Earth's core stop spinning short of some planet destroying catastrophe.

You won't be warned.  The earth will just start moving.  The danger isn't the earthquake.  The dangers are the things that fall on you, the fires that burn after (assuming gas lines or electricity or some source of fire and fuel).

Anything warmer than the air temperature will be affected\n\nMeaning more heat will be lost from the warm object if there is  wind. The wind moves the lost heat away from the object.
