Day and Night are caused by Earth's rotation on its axis.
Seasons are caused by the inclination of Earth's axis of spin to the plane of its orbit round the Sun and the progress of its orbit round the Sun.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The earth's rotations cause day and night. The earth makes one complete rotation roughly every 24 hours. At any point in that rotation, an area of the globe is facing the sun. This is day. As the Earth continues to rotate, eventually this same point will rotate away from the sun. The absence of direct sunlight is what constitutes night.
The Earth's axis always remains pointing in the same direction as it revolves around the sun. As a result, the solar angle varies at a given place throughout the year. The variation in sun angle is the prime cause of our seasons.

When do the nights start drawing in?
Days start to get shorter after between Aug/Sept and longer in march/April
In which garden did Jesus fast for 40 days and nights before the last supper?
Jesus did not fast for 40 days and nights in a garden before the last supper. Jesus fasted 40 days in the desert/wilderness at the beginning of His ministry (Mark 1:12-13; Matt. 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13). Jesus made His intercessory prayer (AFTER the Last Supper) in the garden of Gethsemane (John 14-18).
Why are there places on earth that experience polar days and polar nights?
i think because of the Earth's elliptical orbit, less sunlight reaches these places at the aphelion. =)
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 would happen to both night and day if the earth took twice as long to spin on its axis?
Days and nights would be twice as long, obviously. The slower rotation would have impacts on the weather, much of which is driven by the Earth spinning. Days would be warmer and nights cooler, for example, because each spot on the Earth would have twice as long in the sunshine to heat up, with twice as long at night for heat to radiate away.
Can you predict seasons?
The seasons are already figured out . . . the seasons change on the equinoxes (days and nights of equal length) and on the soltices (days and nights are the most different in length)
What is the difference between the earth's rotation and the earths revolution. What causes the earth to have seasons. What causes the earth to have days and nights?
Those are three different questions; you would be better of asking them as three different questions on this site. The difference between rotation and revolution is that "rotation" refers to a movement of an object around its own axis; while "revolution" refers to a movement around an external object or axis - in this case, around the Sun.
What causes Earth''s rotation?
Days and nights, sunrises and sunsets.
What kind of seasons do they have in Alaska?
They have all 4 seasons, but due to its geographical location, both summer days and winter nights are long.
How will day and night be different if the earths axis was not tilted?
it would probably be the same nights and days
Which season has hot days and cold nights?
There are four different seasons. Fall is the season that has both hot and cold days.
What is the reltionship between day and night and seasons?
The relationship between day and night and seasons is that the length of daylight and darkness determines the changing of seasons. In areas where days are longer than nights, it is typically warmer, indicating summer. Conversely, when nights are longer than days, it is generally colder, signifying winter. The tilt of Earth's axis also plays a significant role in the changing seasons.
Why do the longest days and nights occur?
They differ from the earths axis in relationship to its position during its one year revolution.
Does the rotating causes seasons?
No. Rotation (spin) causes days and nights. It is the tilt of the Earth as it revolves around the sun that causes the seasons, by changing the angle and duration of sunlight reaching areas of each hemisphere. Summer in the northern hemisphere is winter in the southern, and vice versa. Between these two extremes are spring and fall. Areas closer to the equator experience much less seasonal variation in daylight.
What direction dose the earth revolve around the sun?
The Earth revolves around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from above the North Pole. This motion is what causes the changing seasons and the length of our days and nights.
How are earths seasons caused?
Earths seasons are caused by the relative position of the earth to the sun. Since the earth rotates around the sun in an elliptical pattern, sometimes it is closer to the sun than others. This explains summer/winter, etc...
What explains the relationship between hours of sunlight and seasons?
The relationship between hours of sunlight and seasons is due to Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits the sun. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, creating the changing seasons. When a specific hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it experiences longer days and shorter nights, resulting in summer. Conversely, when tilted away, that hemisphere experiences shorter days and longer nights, leading to winter.
