That depends on what you're relating the spin to. If the Earth did not spin relative to space itself, there would be a diurnal cycle. However, each 'day' would last half a year, with the other half occupied by one night. If the Earth did rotate, but did not rotate relative to the Sun, we would be in much the same situation the Moon is in with us - one face always showing to the Sun, the other always hidden. In this scenario, we would have no diurnal cycle.

What happens during the diurnal cycle?

During the diurnal cycle, which spans roughly a 24-hour period, there are various changes that occur in the environment and living organisms. This includes fluctuations in temperature, light intensity, and atmospheric pressure, as well as corresponding behaviors and physiological adaptations in animals and plants to optimize their survival and reproductive success. For example, some animals are more active during the day while others are more active at night, depending on their feeding and predatory habits.
