Question

What happens if earth stops rotating for three second

Answer 1

Answer:

If the earth stops spinning suddenly, the atmosphere will continue to spin. This means very high speed winds, i.e., approximately 1,670 Km/hr which is earth's rotational velocity. The winds will also cause erosion to the earth's crust. 2

Answer 2

Earth’s atmosphere moves around the planet faster than the planet itself, 1,100 mph at the equator. The sudden stop of the earth’s rotation would cause great winds and stir the atmosphere into massive storms adding to the calamity of the day.
