Reply to comment by IronSmithFE in If earth was a smooth sphere, which direction would water flow when placed on the surface? by Axial-Precession
If the Earth weren't spinning then the water would spread out in all directions, stopping when the surface tension stopped it from getting any thinner. It would be a thin puddle beaded up on the surface. That is, unless the amount of water was enough to cover the whole planet - in that case it would cover the planet to an even depth.
