Million Whys
If Earth stopped spinning on its axis but kept orbiting the Sun, how would day and night change at any given spot?
The Sun would stay fixed in the sky, leaving one side in permanent day and the other in permanent night
About six months of daylight, then six months of darkness, with one sunrise and sunset per year
Day and night would still alternate but on a much slower cycle, like a week of light then a week of dark
