@HolyCow,
Relative to our earth,the sun is stationary but it's true it's does move around the galaxy.
@guru,
Will it be a gradual stop or a sudden halt? Either way,no living thing would be around to witness such a phenomena.It's known to you that as you sit in your house,you are actually traveling at speeds above 1600km/hr.If so,what would happen if the earth stopped suddenly? Anything not attached to the earth would take off heading East at the said speed......all the water of the earth would head to either poles and we would have a band of new lands,others wiped out by water displacement.This would happen in minutes and by the time the earth,started the reversing,we would all be dead.....errrr.Don't worry. It won't happen and you better start question whoever came up with that!
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
