Earth's rotation is essential for life because it prevents catastrophic consequences: if Earth suddenly stopped spinning, the atmosphere and oceans would continue moving at thousands of miles per hour, creating deadly winds; one side would experience months of continuous sunlight while the other would freeze; and the magnetic shield protecting Earth from solar wind would collapse, exposing the planet to harmful radiation.

What if Earth suddenly stopped rotating?Added:
What if Earth stopped rotating? The ground would stop with it, but you would not. Everything not bolted down turn into a missile. Then the oceans would keep going, too. And the atmosphere would keep racing around the planet, turning into winds faster than a thousand miles per hour. One side gets months of sunlight and burns. And it gets worse. The magnetic shield drops.
Solar wind starts punching through because spin is what keeps us alive. And that's why.
