At the equator, the earth spins at 1600 km/h. Meaning everything that isn’t very well secured is turning into a projectile. That would be a today problem

to be honest there wouldn’t be many living organisms still alive for it to be a problem for

If the earth stopped rotating, days would be about 365x longer.
I wanted to figure out a more exact answer, but I’m hung up on the fact that the length of a day is influenced by rotation and revolution together.
I have a feeling this requires calculus. If Sir Isaac Newton were here, I think he’d know what to do.

365x24=8760
Open 8760 hours a day, 7 days a week

you’ve got it. the period of the sun up/sun down cycle would be the orbital period.

It could be tidally locked to the sun too. Then days would truly cease to exist, you’d just have a hot side and a cold side.

Tidal locking still requires the planet to be rotating

Fake! They’d already be drowned by mountain sized tidal waves if that actually happened.

They didn’t say how fast it stopped rotating and whether the moon flew out of orbit awhile back.
