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.
