The Earth rotates on its axis (much like if you took a toothpick and pierced a grape with it, then spun the toothpick around between your index finger and thumb). Whichever side of the Earth is facing the Sun, is the part of the Earth that is experience daytime. The side of the Earth not facing the Sun is the side experiencing nighttime.

How do day and night appear explain?
In the day, the sun is up. In the night, the sun is down.It all has to do with the Earth's rotation
Why does earth have day and night every 24 hours?
The Earth has day and night every 24 hours because that is the total amount of time it takes to spin on its axis. When one half faces the sun, it is day in that area of the globe, while it is night in the other half.
What motion is used to measure a day?
Back before Astronomy was well-understood, people used the "Apparent" motion of the Sun across the sky as the measure of the length of the day. Now that we know better, we measure the length of a day as one complete rotation of the Earth. This is known as a sidereal day (sigh-deer-ee-al) which is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.09 seconds, corresponding to the time it takes for the Earth to complete one rotation with reference to the vernal equinox.
Why does day and night go slow and fast?
The Earth takes 24 hours to rotate 360* on its axis causing the half facing the sun to be in daylight and the half facing away from the sun to be in night and as the planet rotates day and night changes. This effect is different depending on which season you are in and where you are located on the Earth.The earth rotates one full rotation every day. When the earth is rotated such that a certain place faces the sun, it is day there. But the earth continues to rotate until this place faces away from the sun. It is then night there.

Which motion of the earth cause day and night?
Rotation
Does it cause night and day for the earth to rotate on its axis?
Yes, if you are facing the sun it is day, but when the earth rotates it will be night.
What is the term for the Earth's motion that produces day and night?
the Coriolis effect
What cause day or night on the earth?
the earths rotation
What motion of the earth causes day and night?
The Earth rotating causes day and night, it rotates every 24 hours. The Earth rotating causes day and night, it rotates every 24 hours.
Day and night are cause by?
the rotation of Earth on its axis.
How does gravity cause day and night?
Gravity does not directly cause day and night. Earth's rotation on its axis is what causes day and night. As Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are either facing towards the Sun (daytime) or away from the Sun (nighttime). Gravity is the force that keeps objects, including Earth, in orbit around the Sun.
How the movements of earth cause day night and changes in seasons?
Day and night is caused by the rotation of the earth about its axis. Seasons are caused by the axial tilt of the earth
Does earth's rotation cause day and night?
Yes, Earth's rotation on its axis is what causes day and night. As the Earth rotates, different parts of it are exposed to the sun's light, creating the cycle of day and night.
What happens to cause day and night?
The rotation of the Earth on its axis.
Why does radiation cause day and night?
Radiation from the sun causes day and night by Earth's rotation. As Earth rotates on its axis, different parts of the planet are either exposed to sunlight (day) or in shadow (night). This rotation creates the cycle of day and night that we experience on Earth.
What does the earth cause when it moves?
It causes day and night. And it also causes the seasons on earth.
