Are changes in solar energy that create day and night the result of earth's rotation?

Say for example, you are currently at point A on the surface of the earth. As the earth rotates, point A will eventually be on the side of the earth facing away from the sun, resulting in darkness. It always spins in the same direction, hence the sun always rises in the East and sets in the West. The reason we have moonlight is because light is reflected off of the moon.
In short, if I've understood your question correctly, yes, the changes in light are due to the rotation of the earth.

What is a result in changes in solar energy that create day and night?
Earths tilt
Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?
yes
How does the solar energy affect oceans and atmosphere movement?
Solar energy is the driving force of weather on Earth. In the "water cycle", the sun is responsible for evaporation of ocean surface water. As this happens, the water vapor rises. The combination of the Earth's rotation and the changes in atmospheric pressure is the primary determinant for when and where the rain comes down.
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earths surface?
50%
How does gravity effect earths rotation and revolution?
The Earth's rotation on its axis is not directly affected by gravity except that gravity holds Earth together as a sphere.Earth's revolution round the Sun is an "orbit" which obeys the laws of gravity.There is also a slight transfer of the rotational energy of the Sun to Earth's revolution speed. The Sun's spin is slowing and Earth is moving away form the Sun a little. {Note, this effect is far more pronounced between the Earth and the Moon].
What is a result in changes in solar energy that create day and night?
Earths tilt
How do changes in heat energy affect the density of earths mantle material?
How do changes in heat energy affect the density of earths mantle material
How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
due to volcanics effects and movement of earth which affect the earth surface
When energy changes forms energy is always produced?
No, energy is not produced. The total amount of energy doesn't change.
What is the wave in which amplitude changes to create sound?
The wave in which amplitude changes to create sound is a sound wave. The intensity of the wave will be changed by energy.
How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
What energy changes in Bicycle Dynamo?
It converts mechanical energy into electric energy.
Does a chemical change create a temperature change?
Almost all chemical changes release or take in energy, and thus do result in changes in temperature.
Describe how the seasons are related to earths orbit around the sun?
the season change as the amount of energy each hemisphere receives from the sun changes
What provides the energy to set ocean water in motion?
Differences in temperature, changes in wind/weather, the earth's rotation, the revolutions of the moon and radiation from the sun.
How do rotation and tilt each affect the ammount of solar energy that differenty parts of earth receive?
They affect because earths rotation can go larger and sorter from sun and ,tilt affects because it can move earth at every side and that has a shadow in other part of earth.
What is causeing the rotation of the earthsto slow down?
Friction related to the tides. Since the energy that produces the tides comes from the Earth's rotation, it follows that whenever energy is lost in the tides, the Earth's rotation will slow down.Friction related to the tides.
