At the equator, the earth spins at 1600 km/h. Meaning everything that isn’t very well secured is turning into a projectile. That would be a today problem
Fake! They’d already be drowned by mountain sized tidal waves if that actually happened.
They didn’t say how fast it stopped rotating and whether the moon flew out of orbit awhile back.
Touché!
If the earth stopped rotating, days would be about 365x longer.
I wanted to figure out a more exact answer, but I’m hung up on the fact that the length of a day is influenced by rotation and revolution together.
I have a feeling this requires calculus. If Sir Isaac Newton were here, I think he’d know what to do.
It could be tidally locked to the sun too. Then days would truly cease to exist, you’d just have a hot side and a cold side.
It could, and eventually would, but the premise of this comic is “the earth has stopped rotating”, not “the earth is now rotating at 1 revolution per year”.
