What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?

If the whole Earth stops by magic, with the angular momentum just vanishing and then reappearing, then the result is very minor. Every clock on Earth would need to be recalibrated against our satellites (unless they magically got paused as well). Siderial, solar, and atomic time would all be out of sync. Other than that, everybody would want to know: What the heck just happened? How did Earth magically stop and start again? But everybody is just fine.

If it stops by magic, does all the energy from Earth’s angular momentum also disappear by magic, or is it released as heat?

The answer depends entirely on how you interpret the question, which is why you see so many completely different responses.

How will the 2026 delimitation affect India as a whole keeping the new count of 888 seats in mind (not the current 543)? I’m looking for genuine answers with facts and not rhetoric. I will only listen to answers and not reply to any of them.

Does the whole planet (from core to atmosphere) stop spinning?

“What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?”

If only the atmosphere keeps going, Earth’s surface is blasted with winds moving at hundreds of miles per hour. Most people die.

My grandmother deeded me her house before she passed last year. Her son still lives there refusing to move. What steps should I take to have him removed?

Does the solid Earth + the oceans stop spinning?

If the oceans keep going, Earth’s surface is scoured clean by tsunamis moving at hundreds of miles per hour. Nearly everyone dies.

If Earth’s rotation is stopped and all the angular momentum is released as heat, everyone dies.

Does it stop due to a massive collision, or does it stop by magic?

Does the rocky planet alone stop spinning?

How long does it typically take for prices to return to normal after tariffs are removed?

Bottom line: Depending on the underlying intent of the question, the answer could be anything from the destruction of the planet and every living thing, to a minor inconvenience that requires resetting our clocks.
