If an asteroid impact were to stop the Earth from rotating how big would that asteroid need to be?
size doesn't matter its the angle and speed of the asteroid that it is at, plus if that did happen the earth would either drift off into space and eventually get back into a orbit because of the suns gravity or explodes and everything would just flip, roll over, fall how ever you wanna put it. plus its nearly impossible for a asteroid to do that it would probably do what i said in the second sentence.

No asteroid is at all harmful to us or to Earth unless our planet and the Asteroid draw unusually close together.
