If the Earth did not rotate on its axis relative to the background stars, then one day would last a year. We would get 6 months of night time, then six months of daytime - which would cause havoc with the climate. The planet would be inhabitable as the night side would cool down too much and the day side would heat up too much. The day/night cycle would last a year, since the earth would still revolve around the sun once in that time to give us one long day.

When the eath spins on its axis what is it called?

Rotation. It takes 24 hours to rotate fully one time. The side facing the sun is in daylight, the side facing away is in night. An interesting fact is that in order for us to experience 365 days in a year, the Earth has to rotate 366 times as it revolves around the sun in that year.
