What Would Happen If The Earth Stopped Revolving Around The Sun?

In the case of a sudden halt of Earth’s revolution around the heat giant, everything would fall into complete disarray on the planet. Since Earth has an orbital velocity, everything on Earth is moving at the same velocity. In the case of a sudden stop, everything on Earth would still have 30 km/s worth of inertia. To put it in perspective, think of what inertia does to you when a bus driver suddenly applies the brakes. In this case, Earth is the bus, and everything that it hosts (including all mountains, seas, rocks, and every single lifeform) represents the passengers. Note that Earth’s escape velocity is 11.2 km/s. With an inertia of 30 km/s, things on the leading side would fly off into space, while everything on the trailing side would be crushed against Earth’s surface by an incredibly powerful force. In short, complete destruction in a matter of seconds!
