She should get Earth spinning on its axis again.
Day and night are caused by Earth’s 24‑hour rotation: different parts of the surface face the Sun as Earth turns. The planet’s orbit around the Sun and the shape of that orbit set the year and seasons, not the daily light/dark cycle; making the Sun “travel around” Earth is just a geocentric re-description and not a realistic fix.
