Every thing on the earth will be thrown east wards at a huge speed resulting in death, destruction. The atmosphere will create winds as disastrous as Atomic Blasts.

If sun does not rise it implies → Earth has stop rotating.
Results → Disaster , most probably end of human race
Earth rotates on its axis from west towards east at about 1675 km/hr.

We wouldn’t know the sun was gone for eight-and-a-half minutes. Then Earth would head off in a straight line, into eternal night.
If the sun disappeared, for eight-and-a-half minutes we’d have no idea that the sun had gone. We’d still see it – lingering, like a ghost – in the sky above Earth’s day side. As soon as the last of the sun’s light reached us – eight-and-a-half minutes after the sun itself disappeared – the sun would blink out and night would fall over the entire Earth.
Not until that instant would Earth sail off in a straight line into space. Einstein’s special theory of relativity tells us that no signal in the universe – not even the tug of gravity – can travel faster than the speed of light – about 300,000 kilometers, or 186,000 miles, per second. Though free from the sun’s gravity, we’d be traveling at the same speed as before – about 18 miles, or 30 kilometers per second. So Earth would be traveling at the same speed as always into eternal night.
If you were on Earth’s night side when the sun disappeared, you might not notice anything … at first. But then the night sky would begin to change. For example, if there were a full moon – which shines with reflected sunlight – its light would disappear a few seconds after the sun’s light blinked out. Over the course of several hours, the planets would wink out one by one, as they reflected the last of the sun’s
As reliable as the sun rising, meaning to spin on another day, since we all know the sun neither rises or sets.
Should the sun not rise? Either the earth has stopped spinning or the sun has ceased fissing. or both. In any case, we’re f*kd. Falling temperatures and atmospheric complications (to put it mildly) would be an ongoing and likely unsurvivable problem, as well as starvation due to plants unable to photosynthesize. The disruptions to modern civilization would probably kill off many before the true physical situation became dire.
If the earth has stopped spinning, perhaps we could create a habitable zone on the boundary between light and shadow by using various materials/reflectors. One must ask though, how it stopped — suddenly or gradually? A sudden stop would have sent everything for quite a ride.
