Is it true or false night and day on earth are caused by earths revolution around the sun?

No, it's the earth's rotation on it's own axis that causes night and day. The Earth is constantly spinning so when one side of the earth is facing the sun that side has sunlight where as at the opposite side of the earth it is night. So while it is day in America in China it's night time. However, Earth's revolution around the sun causes the different seasons. The earth is tilted so that one section (hemisphere) is allways closer to the sun than the other. This relates to the nothern and southern hemisphere. When it is summer in America, the nothern part of the earth is titled towards the sun and the opposite when it is winter.


What would happen if the world turned up side down?

Constellations and the visible stars would invert (stars visible over the southern hemisphere would be visible over the nothern hemisphere and vice-versa), the sun would rise in the 'west' and set in the 'east' (inverse of its presently observed track), the seasons would flip (summer in North America would become winter, etc.)
