You might know that the Earth spins on its axis at a speed of roughly 1,000 miles per hour (1,609 km/h), or about 460 meters per second, which means about half a kilometer per second. This means that we are now moving at the rate of half a kilometer per second, in this vehicle called Earth and we are not aware of this fact, because the ride of the Earth is very smooth and does not vibrate. But now let's talk seriously about this topic that what would happen if the earth suddenly stops rotating on its axis.
To understand this deeply, imagine you are in a car and that car is running at the speed of half a kilometer per second and suddenly you hit the brake then the car will stop but unfortunately, you will be thrown forward. Because your body will move forward due to momentum and if a car really goes at a speed of 0.5 km/second, then you will not even know where you will be thrown out after breaking the front glass. In such a situation the earth would behave the same way, if the earth suddenly stops spinning, then you will suddenly be thrown in the direction of the east at the rate of half a kilometer per second, along with all the vehicles and even buildings. It will feel the same way as all the buildings are destroyed in a nuclear attack, which is terrifying.
Not only this, the momentum would cause the waters of entire oceans to jump higher, leaving many countries completely submerged and many half-submerged in water. And if we talk about India, then the entire area of Kolkata, Kanyakumari, and Chennai may be submerged. Within 1 minute after the earth stops, there will be such a sea movement that all the oceans will turn into just two oceans, such as two mega oceans, and about half the population would be wiped out. After a few months of this incident, those who would have survived, would not be able to grow even grain. Because the earth is no longer rotating on its axis, but it is still circling the sun, making only the sun visible for six months and the moon visible for the other half six months period.

The earth will lose its magnetic field, due to which the ozone layer of the earth will be destroyed and all the harmful radiations from the sun will start reaching the earth. And within 5-10 years of this event, the whole earth will become lifeless. But the finest thing is that we have just explored this idea, as it is not actually possible that the Earth would suddenly stop spinning. There is no such thing in space that will affect the earth's rotation, whether it is an asteroid or rotation of the moon because such things affect the earth, but it matters as much as a moving train hitting a small insect. But if any big object collides then it can have an effect on its spinning, but according to what NASA has predicted, no such major catastrophic event is going to happen for the next at least 500 years. If such an incident occurs then it will happen only in movies so don't worry and be anxious-free.
