what is the period when a given part of earth is facing the sun
At any given time, the part of the Earth that is facing away from the Sun is dark. This is why we have day and night cycles as the Earth rotates on its axis.
? what if if its facing away from the sun it would be night if that is what u asked
As earth rotates the part that is facing the sun has day light.
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.
The side facing the sun
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.
yes its day
The Earth's position in orbit determines whether it is facing toward or away from the Sun. During daytime in a particular region, that part of the Earth is facing the Sun, while during nighttime, it is facing away.
The Earth orbits the sun whilst it is spinning on it's axis, so one part of the Earth is light (facing the sun), whilst the other part is dark (not facing the sun.)
In winter, the part of Earth is not facing the Sun so it makes that season we have in North America cold. In summer, that part of Earth is facing the Sun which makes it hot. Spring and Fall are seasons that nearly faces all the Sun.
We get day and night because, the Earth spins on it's axis around the sun, when the part of the Earth you live in is facing the sun it is day to you. The Moon orbits the earth, for the moon to orbit the Earth once it takes 28 days, when the Moon is facing the part of the Earth you live on it is night to you. Hope this helped x
The moon appears visible late at night because its rising and setting times change daily due to its orbit around Earth. The moon's visibility depends on its phase and position in the sky relative to the sun.
