What action causes day and night the earth orbits the sun or Earth rotates on its axis?

The earth rotates on its axis.


Why is there night and day?

because we need night to sleep and we have the moon which gives us nightthere is day and night because as the earth is orbitting round the sun ,is also spinning and moon is also orbitting round the earth.there is day and night because as the earth is orbitting round the sun ,is also spinning and moon is also orbitting round the earth.


Which does rotation cause night and day or the seasons?

No. The seasons are caused by the orbiting of the Earth around the Sun, as well as the tilting of the Earth's axis. When the Earth is farthest away from the Sun (at its aphelion), that is when the some parts on Earth, like the north will get cold. On the other hand, when the Earth is at it's closest to the Sun (perihelion), that is when the Earth is cooler. However, the Earth is closer to the Sun in January (to be precise, 4th of January), but still very cold. The answer is January is the coldest month of the year in most areas of the Northern Hemisphere, because the sun's angle is at its lowest during the month as a whole. In addition, there is no sun at all above the Arctic Circle and does not allow any warmth from the sun at all. Hence, it gets colder and colder there. Now, these air masses regularly come down into the south and bring with them colder and colder temperatures.


When it is day in India why is it night in America?

The Earth is spherical. Half of it is day and the other half is night due to the Sun shining on it. As it rotates on its axis, day transitions to night, and night transitions to day, with a period of 24 hours. India is on the other side of the Earth from the US, so days and nights are reversed there versus here.


How does Earth rotating on its axis help keep the planet at proper temperatures for life?

Earth's rotation ensures that, except for places near the poles, no area is exposed to continuous sunlight or in continuous night for too long. The alternating intervals of daytime heating and nighttime cooling moderate temperatures. If Earth did not rotate or rotated extremely slowly the day side would be extremely hot from the constant sunlight while the night side would be extremely cold from the lack of it. Such is the case with the planet Mercury.

Why will earth become cold without sun what makes earth cold i think space?

The earth would be cold because the earth wouldn't be getting any heat from the sun, so the earth would become one big ball of ice and everything would die. The earth isn't cold because it has a core which is over 5000'c. It only feels cold in the day because the cloud's block all of the heat, or there is a cold wind. If it is cold at night then it means there ane no clouds keeping the heat in.


Why weather become cold not hot when lunar eclipse occur?

Because a lunar eclipse only occurs at night when the earth is between the sun and the moon. It's always colder at night on earth.


Why is it cold in the morning?

The morning is cold because during the night, the Earth loses heat to the atmosphere, causing the air temperature to drop. This drop in temperature is why it feels cold in the morning.


Why it is cold at night at moon and hot at day?

The Moon has no protective atmosphere, as Earth does. On Earth, the atmosphere absorbs part of the heat, and moves it around.


Why does the moon get so cold at night?

At night, the moon does not have an atmosphere to trap heat like the Earth does. Without this protective layer, the moon's surface quickly loses heat and becomes very cold as it is exposed to the cold vacuum of space.


Why is the ground cold in the morning?

The sun heats the earth but at night their is no sun and the heat of the soil is radiates back into space.

What are the changes in day and night?

Day and night occur due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. During the day, the side of the Earth facing the Sun experiences daylight, while the opposite side is in darkness. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet transition between day and night.
