The earth orbits around the sun and if it didn't rotate as it does so we would have one day and one night per year, each lasting 6 months. The fact that the earth rotates once every 24 hours constantly presents a changing face to the sun, which is our source of light.
seasonsRotation around the sun gives the seasons because the earth is tilted. Rotation about earth's axis give day and night.
day and night
Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation.
The length of the day
A complete rotation which takes up 1 day or 24 hours.
the earths rotation
The repeating phenomena referred to as "day" and "night".
seasonsRotation around the sun gives the seasons because the earth is tilted. Rotation about earth's axis give day and night.

earths rotation
The Earth's rotation greatly enhances the even distribution of heat from insolation, and is the cause of the 24-hour night and day cycle of illumination over most of the Earth.
Yes
rotation
Earths rapid rotation and gravity interact to cause wind.
No, gravity doesn't cause the Earth's rotation.
A primary cause for surface winds on the earth is the Earths Rotation.
The tides are slowing the earths rotation and making the day longer.
