What would happen to plants and animals if the sun shines continuously for a very long time?

The balance of temperature on our planet is due to the day and night cycle. If the sun shines continously for a very long, the side facing the sun would be scorched and burnt due to the constant heat from the sun. The side facing the opposite side of the sun will be frozen since that side won't get enough sunlight so, it won't get enough heat to stay warm.Neither plants nor animals would survive, they would die in just a several days.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
