Answer:

no.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it doesnt move. the reason the earth r o t a t e s on its axis is so you could have day and night as the earth circles the sun it also rotates because the sun itself doesnt move if that makes sense. if the earth wouldnt rotate we simply would just have either day or night depending on where you live. Meaning one side would always face the sun causing it to be way to hot as the other side would just be way to cold. at this point it basically would not be possible for life to live on.

Hope this helps.
