If a planet stops?

Question

what happens to the solar system if a planet stops?

Answer 1

A planet can't stop.  Its energy is keeping it moving forward and the gravity of the sun is keeping it on a circular line.   If it were to somehow lose its forward momentum, the gravity of the sun would pull the planet in & the planet would be destroyed in the sun.

Answer 2

"Stops" what...rotating on its axis...orbiting around the sun?

If a planet could somehow stop rotating on its axis but continue to orbit the sun nothing would happen to the solar system.

If a planet could somehow stop orbiting the sun then the other planets would spontaneously adjust their orbits accordingly.

Answer 3

there would be no light day and night

Answer 4

Depends on what you mean by "a planet stops" - stops what?

If the planet stops rotating, nothing happens to the solar system.

There is no way a planet could stop orbiting its star, the star's gravity keeps a planet moving around the star.

Answer 5

No,a planet never stops because of its energy.
