The idea of the sun standing still comes from a story in The Bible where, during a battle, the sun was said to have stood still in the sky. This event is not scientifically supported and is considered more of a metaphor or legend than a literal occurrence.

How many days does the sun stop during Joshua's time in the bible?

Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: Sun, stand still over Gibeon; and Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon. So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people had revenge upon their enemies. Is this not written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hastened to go down for about a whole day. And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded a voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel (Joshua 10:12-14). I think the answer is NONE, because the sun does not rotate around the earth, the earth rotates around the sun. People in biblical times did not realize this, so it seemed as though the sun and moon stood still, Trick question.
