seriuosly?!!!
This is a really dumb question, think about it for 2 seconds, go on try it!
OK, well I hope you got it all by yourself, but in case you didn't: when your side of the earth is pointing towards the sun it's daytime right. But oh no! the Earth rotates! So after only a few hours your side of the Earth will now be pointing away from the Sun. Shazam! It's nighttime!
What else can I help you with?
What units of time are based on a single rotation or revolution of the earth?
Rotation . . . . . the "Day" Revolution . . . . the "Year"
What is the effect of rotation of earth?
The earths rotation causes day and night, wind, tides and ocean currents and its also responsible for the different seasons.
Earths rotation is described as?
The earth's rotation is described as a counter-clockwise movement which passes through the north and south poles. This is what will result to day and night.
What is the difference between a planet's rotation and a planet's revolution?
Earth rotates on its axis and it revolves around the sun. Both things conserve earth's angular momentum. Each rotation is a day, and each solar revolution is a year. The days and years both help us mark the passage of time. Other than that, there are not too many similarities.
Earths length in days or years?
Earth days are normally rounded to about 24 hours, but in fact the time it takes for Earth to complete a full rotation (i.e. a day) is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. A year is approximately 365.24 days.
What units of time are based on a single rotation or revolution of the earth?
Rotation . . . . . the "Day" Revolution . . . . the "Year"
What causes day and night on earth earths revolution around the sun or earth's rotation on its axis?
Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night. Earth's revolution around the sun causes the seasons.
What is the difference between Earths revolution and Earths rotation?
The term rotation refers to the Earth turning on its axis once per day. The term revolution refers to the earth circling the sun once per year.
What earths two main motions called?
Rotation and Revolution.
Are day and night caused by earths revolution on its axis?
Day and night are caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth spins, different parts are either facing towards the sun (daytime) or away from it (nighttime), creating the cycle of day and night.
The is caused by the earths rotation?
Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation.
What would the speed of the earths rotation be if it was on the north or south pole?
If you are at exactly the north or south pole the measurement is in Revolutions per Day And that speed is 1 Revolution Per Day.
What is the similarity of earths revolution and rotation?
Earth rotates on its axis and it revolves around the sun. Both things conserve earth's angular momentum. Each rotation is a day, and each solar revolution is a year. The days and years both help us mark the passage of time. Other than that, there are not too many similarities.
What cause day or night on the earth?
the earths rotation
What is earths spinning that causes night and day?
rotation
What mass movement happens continuously day after day?
earths rotation
What are the earths two principal motions?
The two principal motions of Earth are rotation and revolution. Rotation refers to the spinning of Earth on its axis, which causes day and night. Revolution refers to Earth's orbit around the sun, which takes approximately 365.25 days to complete.
