that will never happen, but if it does, the earth will be attracted towards the sun and it will end up crashing into it.

Well, that really depends upon what you mean by "suddenly stopped..."

Did the Sun loose its gravitational pull all of the sudden?
Did something cause the Earth to gain energy and swing out on a different path from its eliptical orbit around the Sun?

Many scenarios could be developed from such a broad hypothetical situation. Central to all of those theories would be major loss of heat and light from the Sun which would yield extended periods of darkness and colder temperatures. Were the Earth to suddenly come to a dead stop at one particular location in space, it would be drawn into the Sun rather quickly. Given the mass of the Earth, and its speed of travel around the Sun, I would not worry about any of these possibilities very much. The chances that this will happen are "extremely" low (fractions of a percent).

Gravity does not derive from the spinning of the Earth. Earth's spinning is in basic terms the effect of conservation of angular momentum. The stuff it grow to be created from wasn't all vacationing in the same course while the pileup got here approximately that made our Earth and Moon. because of the fact there is not any mechanism to renounce the Earth's rotation that would desire to enable us to stay, we would understand it immediately (if quickly) while it passed off. the two the oceans or the air could proceed attempting to pass at ~1000mph, or the large impactor that occurs to cancel our Earths rotation could sling the outer crust of the Earth into area for slightly.

Do you mean if the Earth lost its orbital momentum or if it stopped rotating?

If the former, it falls into the sun.

If the latter, the temperature of the day side will surge as the temperature of the night side plummets. Within a short time the oceans will all boil on the day side and freeze on the night side. Eventually all the atmosphere will migrate to the night side and freeze there. The end result will be an airless planet that's hot on one side and covered by ice on the other.

First, the people from one side of the Earth will fly off the face of the Earth and the people on other side will get squashed to the ground.

Next, the Earth will get sucked into the Sun.

It's doom's day...alright!

Note: The Earth is moving around the Sun at about 67,000 miles per hour.

When it does stop revolving around the SUN as distinct from rotating on its axis, it will be consumed by the sun, unless the sun consumes it as part of its dying and expansion.

Long time in the future.

What if it happened suddenly? Same thing, we would spiral inwards into the sun. Hot Hot Hot

Sun will rotate the Earth. Pl dont worry.

Hi arslan
U dont need 2 worry abt dat
OK Back 2 the Point da
Earth is very slowly moving towards the sun!!!!
Ya but very slow dat it will take atlest some millions of yrs more
If earth stop rotating thier would not b mich prob xcept dat there will not be any day or night!!!
I think this is wat u mean and if u further want 2 clarify email me to vinlip123@yahoo.com

It would accelerate towards the sun without any orbital force to counteract it. The Earth would tumble into the sun in maybe a few weeks if you care to do the arithmetic.

It will do one of two things.
It will spiral away from the sun and eventually freeze up or it will spiral into the sun and burn up.
It would depend on what caused it in the first place.
