If earth were made of glass would we we still have day and night?

Yes. Glass is transparent, not invisible. Water's pretty transparent, but it's impossible to see the bottom of the ocean in most places, even when it's only a few kilometers deep.
A typical absorption coefficient for glass might be 10-6 per cm. After a million centimeters (1 km), there's not going to be much light getting through.
A glass object the size of Earth (about 12000 km diameter) would not let any detectable amount of light through.

If Earth didn't rotate would there be day and night?
No because if the earth did not rotate there would either be only day or only night .
If the earth did not have an atmosphere temperature extremes between day and night?
if the earth did not have an atmosphere temperature extremes between day and night would be what?
This is a sealed glass dome that has all the features of earth?
A Bio-sphere would fit this description.
If the Earth's axis was not tilted?
the earth would be weird.
Describe the seasons you would have if the earth axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit?
If the earth's axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, the earth would still have winter and summer as the two main seasons. The two seasons would beÊoccurringÊdaily since the earth would still be rotating but on a perpendicular plane to its orbit.Ê
If earth was made of glass would you still have day and night?
No
What would happen the sun if it stood still?
The Sun is actually standing still, so to speak. The Earth is rotating around it. But if the Earth were to stay still, then it would always be day on one side and night on the other. Plus, the plants and animals on the night side might die out.
If you had no moon?
If the Earth had no moon, there would be little, if any, tides. It would also be a lot darker at night (but the stars would still be there) and there would be no eclipses (lunar or solar).
If the sun faces north will it be night in the east?
yes, all stars the sun and moon rise in the east and set in the west, this is due to the rotation of the Earth
What will it be like with no season on earth?
There would be random weather and temperatures everyday. There would be no rotation around the sun, and the Earth would be still. Meaning on one side of the Earth, it would be daylight forever. The same goes for the other side, Night forever. So as you see, we need the seasons.
How would day and night be different if earth didn't rotate?
There would be no cycle of day and night.
What if the moon were farther from the earth?
the earth would not be as bright at night, and would possibly lose its gravitational pull from earth.
Why does the earth remain warm after sunset?
The surface of the earth holds heat, and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hold heat all through the night. If the earth had no atmosphere, then at night all the heat would escape out to space and the earth would be freezing.
What whould happen if you had no moon?
if there were no moon, there would be no light in the sky at night (earth would be a lot darker at night, earth's days would be longer (earth will rotate slower), and there will be no tides (the moon pulls the tides)
If the earth was made out of glass would you still get sunlight?
In effect yes because the suns light would be reflected of it, the nights would be lighter though as SOME light would get through to the other side
Would vodka still be in your blood if you had a glass two nights ago?
Depends on the size of the glass i guess?
If Earth didn't rotate would there be day and night?
No because if the earth did not rotate there would either be only day or only night .
