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?

Does the whole planet (from core to atmosphere) 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.

Has anyone ever really waited that long and gotten a paper check mailed 20 days ago?

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

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

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

Is it possible to make cars that run on water instead of gasoline or other fossil fuels? Why haven't we done so yet?

Does the solid Earth + the oceans stop spinning?

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

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

Can you fly an American flag in the UK in your own private property there? What is the UK’s government stance on that? And if yes, do you also have to fly the UK flag or the American flag can fly solo?

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

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

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 some people refuse to explain their actions or behavior when asked? Why do they claim to not know the reason instead of providing an explanation?

Does the rocky planet alone stop spinning?
