Explain why it is that we have periods of night and periods of day on earth?

Day and night occur on Earth due to the rotation of the planet on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different parts of it are exposed to the sun's light, causing day in those regions, while the opposite side experiences night. This cycle of day and night is a result of the Earth's rotation every 24 hours.
