What happens when the earth rotates day and night?

Answer 1

Day and night depend on what half of the earth is facing the Sun. As the earth spins on its axis the side which was being hit by the Sun slowly turns away. That side is then night as there is no sun shining down on it.

Answer 2

Well night is classified as the absence of direct light from the sun (please don't get technical by saying moonlight is actually from the sun and that sometimes clouds can be thick enough to give the illusion of darkness or that solar eclipses happen) so as the earth rotates, part of it is always away from the sun and that part experiences night

Answer 3

The Earth spins on an axis and turns making parts of the planet in the sun while others are in the shade, giving the appearance of the sun rising and setting. When the sun sets, the moon comes up and it gets darker. It takes the Earth 24 hours to fully rotate once. That is why we have 24 hours in a day.

Answer 4

=As the earth rotates around the dark side where the suns light can't get to it is the night side and the side with the light is the day time.=

Answer 5

The earth changes from day to night because of the rotation of the earth. In the nighttime hours on one side of the earth, the sun is on the other side of the earth.

Answer 6

Because the Earth spins
