When do the earth rotate?

Answer 1

The Earth rotates on it's axis all the time, causing day and night cycles. Also the rotation combined with it's orbit around the sun and it's 23 degree axial tilt cause the seasons.

Rotation period is more or less 24 hours.

Answer 2

Like every other body in space, the sun rotates on its axis, with its equator very

nearly in the same plane as the Earth's orbit.

The weird thing about it is that since the sun is not solid, there's no reason that the

whole thing must rotate in the same period of time, and it doesn't. The period is shortest

at the equator, and gets longer and longer as you look toward the poles. From equator

to poles, the period of rotation ranges from about 24.5 to almost 30 days.

Answer 3

The Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, resulting in day and night as different parts of the planet are exposed to the Sun's light. This rotation is what causes the appearance of the Sun moving across the sky each day.
