When earth faces away from the sun that side has?
As earth rotates the part that is facing the sun has day light.
Why do you have a day and night cycle?
The Reason for a cycle of day and night is all based on the rotation of the earth. During the day, the part of the earth where you are located is facing the sun, and during the night, the part of the earth where you are located is facing away from the sun.
When does day and night happen?
Because the part of the Earth you are on is not facing the Sun at that time. The earth is continuously rotating, so at any time, part of the Earth is facing the Sun and part is facing away from it. The part facing it is getting lots of light, so it is day time and the part facing away gets less light, so you have darkness and it is night time.
Do stars leave during the day?
No they don't. The stars are always there in the sky. The earth turns one full rotation in 24 hours. During the day, our side of the earth is facing towards the sun (which is a star itself). During the night, our side of the earth is facing away from the sky out into space, where all the stars are. So the stars never go away, it is only the earth spinning around.
Why you can see the sun during day time?
Because the sun is on the same side of the earth as you are.
When its night time is the earth facing the sun or facing away from the sun?
It is night in the hemisphere facing away from the Sun.
How does day and night?
Day and night occur because the earth rotates around its axis once every 24 hours. During each rotation the part of the earth facing the sun receives the light from the sun, and this is called day. The side facing away from the sun is cast in shadow and this is called night.
