What is one complete spin on the earth's axis known as?
one complete on the earth's axis is known as a rotation
Would there be day and night if the earth's axis was not tilted?
Yes. Day and night are caused by the rotation of the Earth on it's axis and has nothing to do with it's tilt. The tilt has an effect on seasons.
What makes day and night?
The earth spinning around on it axis one side is facing the sun which is day time while the other side is not facing the sun is night time. The moon HAS got nothing to do about night and day The rotation of earth on its own axis causes day and night. While rotating the side which faces the sun has day and side away from sun has night. The earth rotates from west to east so we see the sun rise in east and set in the west.
WHICH SIDE the axis of the earth is tilted?
The Earth spins about its axis. That defines the Earth's axis. It is the axis of spin that is tilted. If the Earth were not spinning it would not have an axis.
What is the result of earth's rotation on its axis?
Day and night.
How long would a complete day (both day and night) on Earth be if it did NOT spin on its axis?
One year.
If the Earth's axis was not tilted?
the earth would be weird.
What if the earth is not rotating on its axis?
Then the world would have no days or nights. We would just be either day or night depending on when the earth stopped rotating on it axis.
If the earth did not spin on its axis would it make a difference to day and night?
NO

How long would a complete day an night on earth be if it did not spin on its axis?
It will take a year for a complete day on Earth. For example the area is New York, If the sun is facing New York, it would be day time but then after 124 days, New York will be facing away from the sun so it will be Night time. ======================================== Without rotation, day would last six months and night would last six months, everywhere on Earth.
If earth did not rotate on its axis would there be day and night?
I don't think so
How is Earth's rotation differ from its revolution?
Earth's revolution is the complete orbit around the Sun , it takes nearly 366 days for Earth to complete one complete revolution around the Sun. Earth's revolution causes the changes of seasons. Earth's rotation is the rotation of Earth about its axis (axis tilt of 23.4o).it takes 23 hours and 56 minutes.Earth's rotation causes day and night.
How would day and night be different if earth's axis were not titled?
The hours of darkness and daylight would be equal.

The hours of darkness and daylight would be equal.
How many complete rotation has the earth mad so far this month?
The Earth does a complete rotation on its axis every day. The Earth's rotation is the reason why we have night and day. So, if today is the 18th, the Earth has rotated 18 times this month.
