If the earth stopped spinning on its axis but continued rotating round the sun, then we would have 6 months of daylight and 6 months of dark (not precisely, of course. There would be lots of "dusk" in between). The three strongest months of daylight would still be our summer. All the seasons would remain. Winter would not only be cold. It would also be completely dark for three months.
If the earth continued spinning on its axis but stopped rotating round the sun, then we would lose our seasons. We would have day and night every 24 hours, but January would be the same temperature as July. All months in any one country would be the same temperature. But if the rotating stopped during the northern summer (that is, when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun) then the northern hemisphere would have continual summer and the Southern Hemisphere would have continual winter.
If the earth stopped spinning on its axis AND stopped rotating round the sun we would become rather like the moon. One half of the earth would be continuously dark (and cold) and the other half would be continuously light (and warm). The countries with the sun immediately above them would be hottest, and the countries on the edges of the sunlight would be cooler. There would probably be lots of migrants looking for a place in the sun! Presumably they could bring all their solar farms with them.

This makes two fundamental mistakes - apart from there being no conceivable mechanism to bring the Earth to a stop.
'
1) The question asks what if the Earth stops spinning on its axis. The answer above explains what would happen if it slowed to a "day" lasting a full year, i.e. still rotating but extremely slowly, but still orbiting the Sun. The Moon's own rotation and orbit around the Earth obey this sort of synchronicity. If rotation stops completely but the orbit remains, one "side" ("side" of a sphere?) would be in permanent sunlight and the other in permanent darkness.

2) If the orbit were to stop, irrespective of rotation, the Earth would "fall" into the Sun!
What else can I help you with?
What would happened if earth stopped rotating?
If the Earths core stopped rotating, we will either freeze to death if we're away from the sun, or we'll boil to death if we're towards the sun.There will be no night or no day.
What happens if the earth core stops rotating?
If the Earths core stopped rotating, we will either freeze to death if we're away from the sun, or we'll boil to death if we're towards the sun.There will be no night or no day.
Do star patterns change from night to day?
No. Because when the Earth is rotating that is how we get night and day. But the stars don't change from night and day.
What things would not be affected if the earth stopped rotating?
Rotation affects the length of days and nights, weather patterns, and ocean tides. If the Earth stopped rotating, the impact would include drastic changes in temperatures, winds, and ocean currents, but the rotation would not affect gravity, the atmosphere, or the Earth's overall shape.
Why does the position of stars seem to change as seasons change?
The earth is rotating around the sun. Therefore the position of other stars (although millions of light years away) are in different orientation to that of the earth.
How do you think Earth's landforms would be the Earth stopped rotating?
how do you think earth's landforms would be the earth stopped ratating?
Would the earth burn up if it stopped rotating?
nope :)
What would stop the earth from having tides?
If the Earth (more or less) stopped rotating.
What if the earth stopped rotating?
we'd all die because we would feel earth stop rotating . because we can only feel acceleration and stopping
What if the earth is not rotating on its axis?
Then the world would have no days or nights. We would just be either day or night depending on when the earth stopped rotating on it axis.
What would happened if earth stopped rotating?
If the Earths core stopped rotating, we will either freeze to death if we're away from the sun, or we'll boil to death if we're towards the sun.There will be no night or no day.
What would happen if earth stopped rotating and if its axis were perpendicular to its orbit?
Stoped rotating. A day would take a year. Perpendicular. There would be no seasons.
How would seasons change if the earth stopped rotating?
If the earth stopped rotating, then at every point on earth, the sun would be up in the sky for six months, and then down for six months. We would most likely have very hot days six months long, and very cold nights six months long, with a lot of wind most of the time. It might also be hard to sleep until we got used to it.
Why does the moon change Why does the moon change positions?
Because the Earth is rotating :D
If the earth stopped rotating on its axis would there be day and night?
Yes, each would last six months.
Why does the position of the polar star change in the evening sky?
earth is rotating on its axis
Why we cannot fell the movement of the earth?
I think cause earth is rotating at a constant speed nd we are well adapted to that speed. Bt I wonder that if earth stopped then we will fall due to momentum or not.
