What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?

If it stops by magic, does all the energy from Earth’s angular momentum also disappear by magic, or is it released as heat?

If Earth’s rotation is stopped by a collision, everyone dies. The planet is destroyed.

If only the atmosphere keeps going, Earth’s surface is blasted with winds moving at hundreds of miles per hour. Most people die.

Musk's DOGE workers are now investigating Medicare and Medicaid. They want to eliminate fraud, but can they also be hurting poor Americans and senior citizens' benefits?

Does the rocky planet alone stop spinning?

Does the solid Earth + the oceans stop spinning?

If the whole Earth stops by magic, with the angular momentum just vanishing and then reappearing, then the result is very minor. Every clock on Earth would need to be recalibrated against our satellites (unless they magically got paused as well). Siderial, solar, and atomic time would all be out of sync. Other than that, everybody would want to know: What the heck just happened? How did Earth magically stop and start again? But everybody is just fine.

Triassic reptiles took 10,000 mile trips through 'hellish' conditions, study suggests - Phys.org

Does it stop due to a massive collision, or does it stop by magic?

If Earth’s rotation is stopped and all the angular momentum is released as heat, everyone dies.

Does the whole planet (from core to atmosphere) stop spinning?

My waist finally looks like how it did before I had kids but I didn’t lose weight. Why am I still 15 lbs from my starting weight?

The answer depends entirely on how you interpret the question, which is why you see so many completely different responses.

“What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?”

Bottom line: Depending on the underlying intent of the question, the answer could be anything from the destruction of the planet and every living thing, to a minor inconvenience that requires resetting our clocks.

Why do liberals think it is okay to steal votes while the rest of us obey the law(s)?

If the oceans keep going, Earth’s surface is scoured clean by tsunamis moving at hundreds of miles per hour. Nearly everyone dies.
