Because the Earth spins on a near vertical axis like a top or a Basketball spinning on a finger. But if you were upside down you wouldn't know anymore about it than do the people in Australia.
like i said in the other question this is just abut answering it like u did the project. what happen after i turn the can upside down was the water has really hot it made alot of steam come out as i put the can upside down. Also the can on the outside was dripping water as well because it was hot as well. remember to put it in your own words :D

The sun is the source of most of the energy on Earth. Oceans come second.
Geology, the study of rocks and minerals, right? That falls under earth sciences, or history of the earth.
24 hours for a full rotation 30 days for the moon to orbit the earth 365 days for earth to orbit the sun ______________ The above are standard, rough estimates for these basic periods. None of them is completely accurate. 24 hours is a day of UTC (Co-ordinated Universal time), or standard time. This used to be called Greenwich Mean Time. A day i.e 24 hours, is time of a single rotation of planet Earth with respect to the sun. But a 360-degree rotation about its axis happens every 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds, roughly, and this period is called the Sidereal Day, so yes, one sidereal day equals one full 360o rotation of the earth.The difference between sidereal days and solar days is because, in addition to spinning on its axis, the earth is also slowly moving/revolving around the sun. So when it spins once in relationship to itself and to, say a distant star in outer space directly above the equator, i.e. 360o, its position has also moved slightly round the sun. So it has to spin a round little bit more for the sun to be directly overhead, or at its highest point again. So, in approximate terms, it spins 1 and 1/365ths of a 360o rotation every 24-hour day. And 24 divided by 1 and 1/365 = 23.9344 hours, which is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds, one sidereal day. The moon's orbit around the earth takes about 27.3 days; the cycle of moon phases takes about 29.5 days. The orbit and the cycle of phases are not the same length of time. A year is 365.2422 '24 hour' days, approximately. Anyone familiar with the need for 'leap days' realizes that 365 days is just a rough workable estimate, and that a leap day has to be inserted periodically to align our calendar with the solar year, i.e. one complete movement of the earth around the sun.

Because the earth is a ball shape and spins on an axis 90 degrees away from the direction of the sun. This means that as the earth spins different places come to face the sun (day) and then move into the shadow of the planet (night) in a regular precession.
Day and night happen because the Earth rotates on its axis. As the Earth spins, different parts of it face towards or away from the sun, creating periods of lightness and darkness. This rotation takes about 24 hours to complete, resulting in 24-hour cycles of day and night.
Earth spins so fast,you don't feel it
Through parallax
Because the earth spins on its axis from west to east and the sun, hardly moving relative to the earth, appears to move from east to west.
The Earth's rotation. The relation between the Earth (or a person on the Earth) and the position of the stars makes it appear that the stars are in a different position as the night progresses.
The Sun doesn't 'come up,' infact the Earth spins around. So imagine the Sun and to the left there is the Earth. The side that faces the Sun is experiencing day. The other side of the Earth is turned away from the the Sun, thus is experiencing darkness. Of course, we don't stay in dark/day all the time, and so the Earth spins around on its tilted axis. The Earth spins west to east, and that explains the Sun rising in east and setting in west. The Sun only comes up this way because the Earth is spinning. Whilst the Earth is spinning, it is also orbiting the Sun.
Galileo first proposed his theory that the Earth spins and orbits the Sun in the early 17th century, around the early 1600s. This theory was a key component of his broader support for the heliocentric model of the solar system.
The answer is simple, the moon spins around the earth and gets sunlight too that's why you see it at night when its with the stars. You can't see it in the daytime because if its facing the Sun the light is on the other side.
Day and night occur because of the earth's rotation on it's axis. When one side of the earth is facing towards the sun, it is day. When it is facing away from the sun, it is night. Earth is always spinning so the cycle of day and night continues.
It rotates. For planets and other large bodies in our solar system it causes day and night phases as points on the surface come into the light then back into the shadow.
Last night on earth isn't an album it's a song on 21st century breakdown...it's already out now.
