A lot of things to consider here, earth rotation, atmosphere rotation, the moon, and then earth rotation around the sun, in any case even if everything just stopped, one side of the earth would bake and the other side would freeze.
sometimes i wish the earth would oscillate with sinusoidal motion about an axis which is orhogonal to the north and south poles and bisects the east and west hemispheres
that way you could lie on the beach or on a grassy, ghibli-esque scene all day and get sunlight from every angle without having to move.

If you “freeze the sky forever” then that mean the atmosphere stops moving in sync with the planet.

Phoebe must not have read What If by Randall Monroe if she’s asking that question

“The atmosphere would still be spinning, and it would sweep everyone away to their deaths.”
I think there was actually an anime show about that, at some point.
