If the Earth were to stop spinning instantly, it would be extremely catastrophic for most of the planet's surface. Although we don't feel it on a daily basis, we all move with our rotating planet.

If it were to stop suddenly, the atmosphere from the Earth's surface would be uprooted and sent into space. All the time, the Earth rotates at 1,500 kilometers per hour, and if this stopped, it would be catastrophic for everything on earth.

Meanwhile, our planet's magnetic field would disappear and we would be exposed to lethal amounts of radiation. The earth would become a nearly perfect sphere, since there is a bulge at the equator from the current rotation.

This would affect the other distribution of water, for which the most catastrophic floods would occur.

It can crash due to gravity, but not until it has reached a certain distance!

Another possible scenario could be that it could gradually stop moving over billions of years as it is happening now.

But let's take all the disasters in turn.

1. Anything that is not well placed on Earth will begin to move at speed

The force of gravity is what keeps us firmly attached to the surface of the planet, but if the Earth were to stop spinning, people would turn into huge bullets, moving at over 1500 kilometers per hour, that would shoot each other, while the fast winds will create huge balls of people and destroyed things.

2. But we will not fly into space

Some science fiction movies show that if the Earth stops rotating we will fly into space. But studies show that this is impossible because even though we will travel at breakneck speed we will never reach enough speed to leave the planet.

3. A global storm will completely destroy cities

The atmosphere surrounding the Earth would rotate at a speed of 1,670 kilometers per hour around the Equator and destroy everything. It would create a massively destructive storm over almost our entire planet.

4. A global tsunami would be created

Don't forget Newton's First Law. An object in motion will remain in motion unless an external force acts on it. That our oceans are in constant motion and will create a tsunami that can reach inland over 17 miles in less than a minute.

5. An earthquake will shake the world

The various forces operating on Earth are so perfect and work in such a balanced way that we rarely notice the difference in them. If our planet stops rotating these balances will break and cause earthquakes all over the globe.

6. Fires will be lit everywhere

Changing wind speeds and creating hurricanes will spread fires across the planet.

7. GPS will no longer be used

Although the use of GPS today seems a necessity since satellites, airplanes or other means of transport rely on GPS, if the Earth stops it will no longer be used and this will bring endless accidents and casualties.

8. The sky will appear more static

If the Earth stops rotating, what we see in the sky will also stop. The stars will appear frozen in place.

9. The Moon will collide with the Earth

Now the Moon is slowly moving away from our planet, but if the Earth stopped, it would move closer and closer to us.

10. One day will be as long as a year

Today, one day, is equal to 23 hours and 56 minutes. If the rotation stopped completely, the world would have day for half a year and night for half a year, destroying the living things of the plant and animal world.

11. Poles will be mostly undamaged

If the Earth stops rotating, a polar bear or penguin living in the south or north pole will feel less of all the damage that will be caused.

12. The Sun's rays will not be able to reach the Earth

Dust and debris thrown into the atmosphere will block the sun's rays from penetrating the earth. A phenomenon, which today happens temporarily from the eruption of a volcano.

13. The pattern of the Sun will change

Since the Earth will not function normally then the Sun will also change. He will rise in the west and set in the east.

14. The earth would become a sphere

If the Earth were to stop rotating then ocean water would redistribute over our planet flooding many of the low lying regions.

15. The oceans will redistribute

The oceans will be more concentrated at the poles, as there gravity will be greater, leaving behind a supercontinent wrapped around the equator.

16. The wind system will change

Current wind systems run parallel to the equator, but if the Earth stopped, they would move from the equator to the poles, bringing about massive weather changes.

17. The surface of the oceans will be dusted

As the wind currents change, the water surface of the planet will also be dusted, including the oceans.

18. Sea creatures will die

With the many changes that will occur, they will find it impossible to survive, especially in waters with a low oxygen level.

19. Temperatures across the planet will vary

With the atmosphere mostly covered in dust and debris, a dense fog will settle over the cold ocean waters, causing temperatures to drop further.

20. We will be bombarded with radiation

Meanwhile, our planet's magnetic field would disappear and we would be exposed to lethal amounts of radiation. The earth would become a nearly perfect sphere, since there is a bulge at the equator from the current rotation. This would affect the other distribution of water, for which the most catastrophic floods would occur.

21. The northern lights will disappear

The Northern Lights would cease to exist without a magnetic field.

22. The seasons would cease to exist

The Earth's 23.5° tilt will disappear. The sun will be strong at the equator, but there will be no more seasons.

23. The Sun will appear mostly stationary

If the Earth stops we will see the sun rise and fall in the sky only when we change our latitude.

24. We will all die

With all the changes that will take place it is clear that no living being will survive.

25. How to survive

25 catastrophes that will happen if the Earth stops rotating

Despite everything, there seems to be a very small chance of survival: The solution is underground.

If we shelter inside it, we will be protected from hurricanes, tsunamis, harmful radiation or other harmful phenomena that will occur.

The problem is that we'll probably never be able to leave the underground again.
