1. If the Earth suddenly stopped spinning, you would gain weight but the least of your worries. Everything not attached to Earth would continue moving east at over 1000 mph, flinging people and objects like supersonic tumbleweeds. Astronauts aboard the ISS would have the best chance of survival.
2. Widespread storms of unprecedented size would form from the friction between the stopped Earth and high-speed winds, causing erosion, damage and potential nuclear-level winds. The Sun would appear stationary as days stretched to 365 days long.

Hey, Vsauce. Michael here. The Earth is ___________and we are
___________ along with it. But what if the Earth ___________ stopped spinning? Well, first of all, you would gain ___________. But that would be the ___________of your worries. The spin of our planet is important and literally ___________ you the time of your life. At the equator, the ___________, and everything on it, is spinning around at 465 meters per second. As you move closer to the poles ______________________to complete Earths daily rotation. Here in San Francisco, the Earth is ___________me east at 368 meters per second. If I could float ___________ the surface independent of the Earth's rotation, the Earth would spin ___________ me this quickly. Pretty cool. But, of course, when I jump ___________into the air, the Earth doesn't move ___________ me because I continued to spin with it. _________________________________ and that is why slamming on a set of magical ___________that caused everything classically called earth to stop Hey, Vsauce.

Immediately everything that wasn't Earth, ______________________, would continue moving, as it had been, and be flung due east at more than a thousand miles an hour.

Because the atmosphere would more ______________________, people in airplanes, assuming they could navigate the resulting storms, might have a better chance of ___________. Astronauts aboard the ISS would fare even better. But it is ___________ that anyone would be waiting for them down on the ground. Runways would just be entrances to the new planet-sized ___________, created by the no longer spinning Earth. _________________________________might be okay but only at first. Gusts of wind, as fast as those near an atomic bomb detonation, would blast, _________________________________forming worldwide storms of unprecedented magnitude. The friction alone, caused by the now stopped Earth colliding with these winds, would be enough to cause ______________________, unparalleled erosion and damage to anything strong enough to stay put after the initial braking. The Sun would seem to ___________ in the sky as days became not 24 hours long but 365 days long.
