what would happen if i left a sunflower in a place with only a little bit of sun what would happen would it stretch or just die from the little sunlight

Sounds as if it wouldn't thrive at all without full sun.

The flower would stretch to try to reach the light for a while. Eventually it would die.

I suggest you experiment with miniature sunflowers. Several companies that sell miniature sunflower seeds have websites. One site advertises a packet of 50 seeds for $3.35. That would give you plenty of plants to test various amounts of light on them.

If you leave a sunflower in a place with only a little bit of sunlight, it will likely stretch or bend towards the direction of the sunlight. This is because sunflowers are heliotropic, meaning they exhibit a growth response to sunlight. They typically grow towards the sun to maximize their exposure to light.

However, if the sunlight is too limited, the sunflower may not receive enough energy for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light into energy. Without sufficient photosynthesis, the plant will struggle to produce the nutrients it needs to survive and grow properly. In such conditions, the sunflower may eventually die.

To get a more accurate assessment, you can consider the specific light requirements of sunflowers. They generally prefer full sun exposure, which means they need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. If the amount of sunlight falls significantly below this threshold, the sunflower's growth and health may be severely affected.

If you want to keep a sunflower healthy, it is important to provide it with an adequate amount of sunlight. Consider placing it in a location where it receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day.
