Message	The sun has no bearing whatsoever on the earth's rotation. That spin represents angular momentum, and it requires a torque to effect any change on it. The sun exerts no (unbalanced) torque on the earth's rotation, so... The earth will go on spinning around the same axis of rotation that it always has, sun or not. We'd just be spinning around our axis while shooting through space in a straight line.
