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

    The unit you are looking for is km/h. Both capitalisation and multiplication (division) matter with units.

      You haven’t heard about the new unit kilometerhours? The conversion is a simple formula. X = KMH, Y = km/h

      (((x2)+5)-(5+(2x)))+x=y

      But you understood what I said right?

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

    Really sums up small town life.

  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.

    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.

      It could, and eventually would, but the premise of this comic is “the earth has stopped rotating”, not “the earth is now rotating at 1 revolution per year”.

      Tidal locking still requires the planet to be rotating

    365x24=8760

    Open 8760 hours a day, 7 days a week

    365.25 days I believe is the better approximation because it’s the rough time it takes Earth to be in the same spot - hence the leap days

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

  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.

      Touché!

    But did all the objects on earth also lose their momentum? Otherwise they would be already made into paste before the waves

      If it was magic and kinda just…slowed down to stop. Like a cartoon or a comic logic then yea that could work.
