The consequences would be CATASTROPHIC! First, everything not attached to the ground would be instantly thrown eastward at roughly 1,000 miles per hour. Buildings, vehicles, people—all thrown like debris in a hurricane.
The atmosphere would continue moving while the surface stopped, creating winds exceeding
1,000 miles per hour, strong enough to destroy forests and cities.
Our protective magnetic field, generated by Earth's rotation, would collapse. Solar radiation
would bombard the surface, destroying electronics and exposing all life to deadly levels of
radiation.
The oceans would surge toward the poles, creating massive tsunamis that would reshape
continents. Equatorial regions would become vast new land masses while coastal cities
drowned.
Without rotation, we'd lose our day-night cycle. One side of Earth would bake under constant
sunlight while the other freezes in permanent darkness.
In short: if Earth stopped spinning, we would die anyway!
