What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning immediately?
1. The atmosphere would come to a complete standstill instantly.
2. Objects on top of the earth would be thrown away with great speed.
3. Every spot in the Earth would have permanent daytime or night time all year long.
4. It would freeze in a very short period of time.

Statement 1: If the Earth stopped spinning suddenly, the atmosphere would still be in motion with the Earth's original 1100 mile per hour rotation speed at the equator. Statement 2: All of the land masses would be scoured clean of anything not attached to bedrock. This means rocks, topsoil, trees, buildings, animals, and so on, would be swept away into the atmosphere. This is because earth’s spin provided a centrifugal (a pseudo force) force towards the centre of the earth. When this vanishes, there is a sudden jerk and due to your inertia (as you were moving with the earth) you would be thrown away at great speed. Statement 3: No, if the earth kept revolving (even if it stopped spinning), all places will see day and night. But, the duration of 24 hours would turn into months.
Statement 4: We cannot conclude anything about the temperature drop for the entire earth. However, those parts would freeze which fail to get abundant sunlight.
