How does the Earth's rotation cause temperature differences during day and night?

Temperature difference is not actually caused by the spinning but by a direct result of it, where the sunlight is hitting the surface of the earth and warming it up. When the earth rotates the earth stops warming some of it up and begins to warm up other parts of it. The part no longer being warmed up is now undergoing 'night' and begins to cool down. If the earth rotated the same speed it went around the earth but in the opposite direction it would always be day on one half the earth and uninhabitably hot, while the other side would be just as cold.

What determines a planet's seasons?
Distance from the sun during rotation.
During the recent ice age glaciers covered almost what percent of earths land?
During the recent ice age, glaciers covered almost 30 percent of earths land.
True or false the rotation of the earth effects what stars you see during the evening?
true
What joint action is used during a lunge with rotation exercise?
joint action in rotating lunge
When the physical state of a substance changes during a phase what happens to the temperature of the system?
The temperature remain constant during a change of phase.
What can be observed by earths rotation on its axis?
The passage of the sun across the sky during daylight, and the stars circling round the axis during darkness.
What is the temperature on the earths moon?
The temperature on the moon ranges from roughly +100C during the lunar day to -100C during the lunar night.
How long does a moon stay up in the sky?
the moon is always in the sky, but due to the earths rotation it cant be seen during the day.
Why are temperature more mild during an equinox?
The earths axis is not tilted directly toward the sun.
How does the eaths rotation cause temperature differences during day and night?
Because the earth didn't have an atmosphere back then That answer is also right but their is another slip to it, the slip to it is that, their is a seasonal change in the atmosphere and if they didn't have a satellite the seasons wouldn't change, so that is also why we have satellites for electricity and the seasons...!
What is the length of earths rotation?
'Length' of time = 23hours 56minutes 4seconds (rounded) 'Distance' . . . . . Any point on Earth moves in a circular path during each rotation, roughly 24,900 times (cosine of its latitude) miles
What temperature is Deimos?
The average is around 17 degrees Celsius during daytime. The average day and night temperature is -40°C.
Earths air temperature vary greatly during the day while its ocean temperature varies only slightly?
The atmosphere has lower heat capacity

Would there be winds if earths surface was the same temperature everywhere?
No, there would not be winds if the earth's surface was the same temperature everywhere. The reason why is because during the day the land heats up faster than the water.
Why does the earths temp increase during a full moon?
There is no data to indicate that the temperature on the earth as a whole or at any given place on it is in any way correlated with the phases of the moon.
The dynamo theory states that earths magnetic field is created in layers?
In the Dynamo Theory, the magnetic field of the earth is created in the outer core. The fluid contained in the outer core creates and maintains the magnetic field during rotation.
