How many times does the earth spin on its axis every twenty four hours?

once, that is what determines a day


What cause the earth day night?

First understand that night is caused when a point on a planet rotates with the planet so that it is not pointing towards the sun (it rotates into the shadow of its planet). When it is pointing towards the sun it is day!On Earth as the planet rotates once on its axis every 24 hours, a point on its surface will be in shadow for 12 hours at a time and in daylight for the other 12 hours.------------------------------------------------------------When the Earth spins around on its axis, it creates night and day on Earth. This movement makes it look like the Sun is moving across the sky. The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west, turning day into night.Most places on Earth have some amount of day and night every 24 hours. On Earth, the length of day and night usually changes with the seasons.When your location on Earth is facing toward the sun, it is day. When your location is facing away from the sun, it is night.Only the half of the rotating Earth that faces the Sun is illuminated at any given time.
