That comes from the energy from earth's rotation. That energy is left over from the formation of the sun.

Left over from the formation of the solar system, not the sun.

Erm, the solar system formed because of the sun

Where do you think that solar accretion disk went to?

Erm, the sun was formed in the center of a nebula and the planets formed out of the remaining mass that didn't collapse into the sun. Yes, the gravity of the sun influenced how the remaining mass interacted and formed into planets with rotation, but it is not wholly a direct result of the sun itself, rather the angular momentum of the original nebula.
