First, the Sun cannot "burn out". Even if the hydrogen fusion that powers the Sun were to stop, the mass of the Sun and its slow collapse under the forces of gravity would keep it shining much as it does now for thousands of years.
But if the Sun were to magically "turn off", the surface of the oceans would begin to freeze over in about 2 days, as surface heat would continue to be radiated off into space. (Have you ever wondered why clear winter nights are so much colder than cloudy winter nights? Radiation.) The deep oceans would freeze more slowly, and might never freeze completely; the ice would provide insulation, and the volcanic heat from deep sea vents might provide enough heat to keep the oceans from freezing completely for millions of years.

∙ 14y agoThe Earth will never stop spinning. The rotation of the Earth is slowing down, VERY slowly, as gravitational and tidal forces transfer energy to the Moon, which is very slowly receding. But the Earth will never STOP spinning.

What would happen if the coils in a generator stopped spinning?
if that happens, then it would stop working.
What would happen to life if the world stop spinning?
If the world stopped spinning we would have a very unlikely chance or survival. It depends on what your asking. If the world stops spinning but still revolves around the sun. Or if the world stopped moving all together. There are many answers. If the world stopped spinning but still revolved around the sun then we would have seasons like we do now, but we would either have light or day for 6 months each. It would take a lot of adapting to. So if the world stopped moving all together. Then we wouldn't have seasons. We would either have light or darkness for the rest of our lives, and we would either be in the unbareable cold or the blistering heat.
What would happen if the force of earth's gravity suddenly stop pulling in the moon?
In that case, the Moon would move in a straight line instead of moving around the Earth; it would quickly get away.
How can you stop damaging the earth?
tell the fat guy no effence stop jumping on the earth
How does the rocket land on the earth?
It doesn't, the shuttle with the crew in it glides back to earth, hence needing a long runway to come to a stop. If 'a' rocket was landing on earth... Crash or use a parachute to slow it down
Would you stop breathing if the earth stop spinning?
yes
Is the earth gonna stop spinning for 2 weeks?
The Earth won't, actually can't stop spinning in a human timescale.
What happens when the earth stop spinning?
The earth wont stop spinning unless something big hits it - then we would all die from the collision. A counter rotational force is required to stop the earths spin, otherwise it will just go on rotating.
If earth stopped spinning would it loose atmosphere?
No, the atmosphere is held in place by gravity, not centripetal force. If the earth stopped spinning, there would be no coriolis force though. This would stop deflecting the moving air in the atmosphere.
Can we stop the core of the Earth from spinning?
No. And even if we could, the spinning of the rest of the Earth will quickly make the core spin again.
Is it true that the earth will stop spinning in 2 years?
No, that is nonsense.
Which wall would you slam into if the earth were to suddenly stop spinning?
The eastern wall. The Earth is spinning, moving from west to east. You are also moving from west to east, being carried along with the Earth. The Earth _CAN'T_ stop spinning, but if it could stop - and if you didn't stop with it - you would slam into whatever was east of your position.Your speed would depend on your latitude; at the equator, you would be moving about 1100 miles per hour, with a decreasing speed at higher latitudes. Most of the United States is moving between 600 and 900 miles per hour to the east, being carried along with the Earth. Good thing the atmosphere is ALSO being carried along with the Earth!
Does the solar system cause earth rotation?
No. Once an object starts spinning it does not need anything to keep it spinning. In fact it would take a force to stop the rotation. Earth has been rotating since it first formed and its angular momentum has kept it spinning.
What is Jay-Z's music philosophy?
I vow to never stop winning Until the earth stop spinning
What happends if the world stoped spinning?
There would be detrimental effects on Earths climates if the world were to stop spinning. One half of the Earth would remain always warm and sunny while the other would lack sunlight and be colder. Also time as we know it would cease to exist since time is directly related to the rotation of the Earth,
How is the earth similar to and different from a spinning top?
They both spin but the earth is not a toy
Could the earth's core stop spinning?
For the Earths core to stop spinning would be the same as the Earth stopping spinning. This may well happen in billions of years time, due to tidal locking, but is unlikely. If the question is about the "liquid" core", that produces the magnetic field, then certainly. When, no one knows when but it will cool and become a solid, when that happens our magnetic shield, the Van Allen Belt will diminish and the Earth will be bathed in solar radiation erasing all surface life.
