If the sun were to suddenly stop shining, it would take approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds for people on Earth to notice, as that is the time it takes for light from the sun to reach our planet. We would experience darkness and a significant drop in temperature when the sunlight ceased to reach us.

Why do people not notice that the continents drift?
The movement of continents is incredibly slow, occurring at a rate of a few centimeters per year, making it imperceptible during a human lifetime. In addition, the vast majority of people do not spend their time observing geological features over long periods of time, which further contributes to the lack of awareness about continental drift.
When you walk along the sidewalk you push the earth and the earth pushes you How come no one notices that you pushed the earth?
People don't notice the small amount of force they exert on the earth when walking because the earth is so much larger and heavier than a person. The force exerted by a person walking is minimal compared to the Earth's mass, so it is not easily perceptible.
What would happen if the moon if it stoped being pulled by earth?
If, by some mysterious process, the gravitational forces between the Earth and moon suddenly disappeared, the moon would continue in the solar orbit in which it already is. But the present relatively small perturbations in that orbit caused by the Earth's presence would smooth out, and the moon's orbit would become truly elliptical, without the small wiggles.

Why do photos from space show the earth as a perfect sphere?
Earth is not a perfect sphere; it is slightly wider across the equator than it is from pole to pole, but that difference is less than a percent of Earth's average diameter, too small for the human eye to notice.

What are two reasons why you do not notice the land moving beneath you?
you don't notice the earth moving because everything else moves along with the earth as it moves.
What do you think would happen if the earth stoped moving?
The gravitational pull of the sun would not be balanced by the outward force derived from the Earth's centripetal motion, and the earth would fall into the sun.
Can you see mars from earth how was it discovered?
Yes. You can see Mars from Earth. It was discovered by primitive people who watched the night sky and notice that some of the objects, later called planets, did not move with the stars.

Stoped rotating. A day would take a year. Perpendicular. There would be no seasons.
