I do not know if you mean revolving as in " revolving on its axis" or do you mean " revolving about the Sun?"

If it stopped revolving about its axis only, then the first noticable thing would be on the very far side ( away from the Sun) would be total darkness and extreme cold. However as we approach the center point it could be hospitable, beyond that point it begins to get hotter until you are at the closest point toward the Sun - also the hottest point. As the Earth revolves around the sun these would shift, probably every six months. This also means, the way it is now our weather is diveded between the northern and southern hemispheres, but in this case it would further be divided between the Eastern and Western as well, because of the constant light & dark to each region. So, in short each quarter of the globe would under-go different weather patterns every six months.
Also, as time passes the Earth would get closer and closer to the Sun, each pass it would be closer. Eventually, this spiraling inward would result in a total collision of the Earth going into the Sun.
Furthermore, the molten liquid center would begin to slow to a stop ( the slushing about ). Once this happens our magnetoshere will vanish and our atmosphere will be just like Mars, lost to space. Meanwhile, our protective cover will be gone so we will begin to get bombarded with harmfull Radiation and UV rays, which will dry up our oceans and cook the planet. Without the rotation of the Earth upon its axis I would think all of this would be a done deal in about 20 passes of the Sun - 20 years
Any life forms that have survived to the end will be finished off once the Earth is vaporized by the Earth - Sun collision.

Now " What would be the overall effect of the void left by the incinerated Earth?"

The Earth cannot just stop. Either some other object has to hit the Earth just right to halt the rotation, or you're talking about some other phenomenon that will slowly stop the Earth's rotation.

In the event of an object striking the Earth to stop its rotation, all life above microbes and small creatures will die virtually instantly and violently.

In the event of slow extinction of rotation, people would not be directly affected. Day or night will become permanent on the sides towards and away from the sun. Wind and ocean current will change as slowly as or more slowly than the rotation. Other climate changes will occur.

Presuming that the people on Earth will stop with the planet, the proportion of light to dark would change drastically with a 'day' being equal to a complete orbit. Some would freeze to death first while other would die of heat. One 'day' would probably finish life as we know it.

The earth would possibly be attracted via skill of the image voltaic, and because it have been given right here closer the image voltaic, the earth would desire to soften. The earth would desire to likely collide with the image voltaic till now or after it may soften. appropriate, enable's say that the Earth only stops ineffective in that's tracks, with the factor to communicate. in all risk, the stress of the provide up would desire to need to grant each and every element on earth's floor flying of into section or crashing into the Earth, reckoning on the region it replace into. additionally, the Earth would desire to likely crash into the image voltaic. the reason in the back of that's that there are 2 forces preserving the Earth in orbit: gravity and centrifugal rigidity. The centrifugal rigidity is what retains the Earth removed from the image voltaic, and is delivered approximately via skill of the Earth's orbit. Gravity retains the Earth from flying off into section. If the centrifugal rigidity stops besides the shown fact that the gravity keeps, the Earth will fall in the direction of the image voltaic. you would be able to need to think of of of it very much like a baseball on a string which you're swinging around over your head. in case you provide up swinging it around, it is going to fall closer to the midsection; comparable with the Earth. i desire that facilitates!

It would be night on one half of the earth and day on the other. Seasons would continue as normal. Everybody would want to be in the areas where the Sun is shining nobody wants night all the time.

People on the backside of the earth would experiance winter forever and things would freeze and most things would die. People would probably migrate to the side of the earth where the sun was shining.

None. This would be a delusion of the individual who thinks it has happened.

The earth will continue to revolve on its axis and circle the sun.

First it effects on our day & nights and also mansoons.
The people who are a side which facing sun, get complete day the light & sun never setoff.
And the people who are other side will get complete dark,and they never get sun shine.

If it stopped suddenly, then we would all die.

If it gradually became locked, there would eventually be a narrow band that was perhaps temperature wise hospitable.

if it stopped suddenly we would all be thrown off the surface at about 1000 miles an hour
