As the Earth rotates on its axis it causes the Earth to spin. so the side which faces the sun is day as it is closest to the sun. the side that is further away from the sun is in night as it has no sun and it is dark.
while the earth is spinning on its axis the side faceing the sun has day and the side faceing away has night however there is a country which has 6 month day and 6month night and that country is Norway because Norway is in a particular spot in the world which could have 6 month day and 6 month night.

∙ 13y agoThe earth constantly spins on its axis. So,the other half of the earth is facing the sun , the other side is not. This is how we have night and day. It also matters on your time zone. The earth has 24 time zones. Some will be at night and some will be at day.

∙ 16y agobecause the earth cirles around the sun spinning and when are part of the world is in day then we are facing the sun but when its night were facing away from the sun. Or the hole world cant be facing the sun at the same time unless the world was flat.
The sun going around the earth
the rotation of the earth and where the sun hits it

We get day and night because of the earth's rotation on its axis.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agobecause of the earth is round and it rotates so other side of the earth facing the sun experiences day time and the other side not facing the sun experiences night time.

∙ 13y agoWe have night and day because the earth is always half lit and half dark. As the Earth rotates the part of Earth that is lit changes to dark and back again.

Why the dwarf planets have moons?
planets have moons for day and night
What part of the solar system is responsible for causing day and night?
The spin (axial rotation) of planets causes day and night.
What type of movement causes night and day to happen on all planets?
The rotation of the earth on its axis cause day and night.
Which planet has the longest cycle of day and night of the terrestrial planets?
Mercury. It has the longest cycle of ALL the planets, not just terrestrial.
Does Pluto have sunsets?
Yes. Pluto has a day-night cycle much like the planets do.

planets have moons for day and night
How a planets rotation is related to day and night?
yuyuuyuiuiuuiuiuu
Do the other planets in the solar system have day and night?
Yes. Since all planets in the solar system spin on an axis, every planet has cycles of day and night.
Why do all planets have a day and night?
Day and night for planets refers to their period of rotation. All planets rotate and therefore all planets have day and night. On Earth day and night take 23hrs 56 minutes. On Jupiter day and night lasts for 9.8 (Earth) hrs. Venus and Mercury are interesting. One Venusian day/night lasts for 243 Earth Days which is actually longer than the Venusian year. A day/night on Mercury lasts for 58 Earth days which is about 2/3 year. I am glad I live on Earth!.
What part of the solar system is responsible for causing day and night?
The spin (axial rotation) of planets causes day and night.
Why can you see planets and stars on a night?
The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.
What is saturns planets temp during the night?
Saturn has diffrebt temps during the day and night during the day it is 432 celsius
Does Uranus have nights?
Yes, all planets have a day-night cycle.
What type of movement causes night and day to happen on all planets?

Mercury. It has the longest cycle of ALL the planets, not just terrestrial.
Do any other planets in the solar system have a night and day?
some of them and some of them don,t have nighty and day
What motion of the planet is responsible for night and day?
Rotation around the planets central axis.
