Time is not a thing that can be manipulated by some outside force. Time is the subjective way we view the speed of a piece of matter relative to our location and our own movement. We divide up time by the motion of objects we see. The Earth turns on its axis one time is a day, we divide the day into 24 parts called hours, those are divided into minutes, and so on. But it is all arbitrary. there really is no flow of time to be frozen. The only "Time" that really exists is this very moment. You exist in the infinite now. The Right here and now is always where you are. The past and future are illusionary references to mark events we experience or anticipate.
It would be possible to stop the Earth from spinning by hitting it with a large enough planetary body, like the size of Mars at just the right angle to negate the potential energy in the Earth's rotation. Unfortunately the impact would kill everything on the planet.

This can be done by stopping the rottion of earth only , if the time is to be freezed on earth . but none can evr stop it and God if it is an individual and and inhuman and angry could have done it long before the moment some mortals claimed tohave authority over the gods and declared themselves as the only agents of the god .
But considering the power of nature evn god can not sotp it as the forces of nature are inherent in the things of nature and action is the life and soul of nature.In th ewhole universe thre can b nothing that does not spin around itself . Let any astonomer find out any one single object in space that does not spin.

Relative to an observer, time stands still at the speed of light. So, if you were flying past the Earth, traveling at the speed of light, and making observations about the earth's rotation, it would seem not to be spinning.

No, not really. Even if you could travel at the speed of light, which anything with mass can never hope to achieve, time will continue. It will slow down at you approach the speed of light, but it will not stop. This is only true if you are an outside observer looking at the object that is going at near light speed. If you, yourself, are that object near the speed of light, you, yourself will have no sensation of the slow down of time. You will age and perceive the passage of time as normal. If you could through the earth down black hole, assuming you could survive the gravitational pull (which you could if the black hole were millions of solar masses), if you remained on that earth, you will see no change in the passage of time.

Just on a personal basis or as a major event.
Time as we know it stops at the event horizon of any black hole. If one was to hypothetically push the Earth into a black hole, everything which depends upon time (including planetary rotation) would stop.
Of course, the Earth would probably be crushed into a volume smaller than a golf ball and nobody would observe it, but it would happen.

No but it seems like it could freeze if u go really fast it seems the other object is going really slow
