day and night
Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night. Earth's revolution around the sun causes the seasons.
Basically the tilt of the axisThe spinning of the Earth on its axis is the cause of day and night. it takes approximately 24 hours for any point on the earth to directly face the sun twice.A combination of the tilt of the Earths axis and its orbit around the sun is responsible for the seasons.
Relationship to the sun
The Sun does not experience night and day.
The earth revolved around the sun in fixed orbit>
by the earths rotation around the sun and the pattern in day and night and how the earth moves and how the earth revolves and rotate around the sun.
An example of a verbal analogy could be "Hot is to cold as day is to night." This analogy compares the relationship between the words "hot" and "cold" to the relationship between "day" and "night" in terms of opposite meanings.
The sun can only shine on part of the earth's surface at any one time. This is why we have day and night in a rolling approach as the earth rotates.
The earths rotates on it's axis away from the sun.
Without the Sun, there won't be any day and night.Without the Sun, there won't be any day and night.Without the Sun, there won't be any day and night.Without the Sun, there won't be any day and night.
Its the orientation of the earths rotational axis that defines the equinox, the axis remains parallel throughout the orbit of the sun, and when its side on to the sun (spring and autumn), thats the equinox (equal length of day and night).
