Best Answer

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.

Day and night caused by the rotation of Earth on its axis. One day is determined by the time the Earth takes to rotate once on its axis.
