The lengths of day and night vary around the Earth due to its axial tilt and elliptical orbit around the sun. Different latitudes receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to variations in day length. This results in the changing durations of day and night throughout the year at different locations on Earth.

What is the difference between the earth's rotation and the earths revolution. What causes the earth to have seasons. What causes the earth to have days and nights?

Those are three different questions; you would be better of asking them as three different questions on this site. The difference between rotation and revolution is that "rotation" refers to a movement of an object around its own axis; while "revolution" refers to a movement around an external object or axis - in this case, around the Sun.


Why can some stars be seen in New York State on a summer night but cannot be seen on a winter night?

Some stars are seasonal, meaning their visibility changes with the Earth's position in its orbit around the Sun. During summer nights in New York State, the Earth is oriented in such a way that certain constellations and stars are above the horizon. In winter, the Earth has moved, obscuring those stars behind the Sun, which makes them invisible during that season. Additionally, winter nights tend to have different atmospheric conditions that can affect visibility.


What beliefs can be associated to day and nights?

The belief that the earth rotates on its axis.


Where on earth of the day and nights eaqual?

Any place on earth that lie on the equator will have equal day and night time.


How far does the Moon appear to move in the sky per day?

The moon appears in different places on successive nights because the Moon orbits around the Earth once every 27.3 days. Each night it appears about 13 degrees further east among the background stars than the previous night.

What are the effects of day and nights?

It is because the earth spins around.


Why does the moon appear as a different shape in the sky on different nights?

The moon appears as a different shape in the sky on different nights because of its position in relation to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight that reflects off its surface changes, causing different portions of the moon to be visible from Earth. This creates the different shapes, or phases, of the moon that we see in the sky.


What are the reasons for variation in the length of days and night on the earth?

Variation in the length of days and nights on Earth is primarily caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun. This tilt creates different angles at which sunlight reaches different parts of the Earth, leading to changes in day length. Additionally, the Earth's elliptical orbit means that the speed at which it moves around the sun varies, affecting day length.


Why are there different day lenghts in different seasons?

in summer the earth is closer to the sun so it gets more daylight (sun). in winter the sun is further away from the sun so it gets less daylight.

Why do day lenghts change?

Because the axle that the Earth rotate around isn't exactly perpendicular to the sun. This tilt gives us seasons and changing day lengths.


What is the other way the earth is moving apart from spinning?

The Earth is also moving around the Sun in its orbit. This movement is responsible for the changing of seasons and the different lengths of days and nights throughout the year.


Are days and nights on mars long or short?

They are around the same length as days on Earth.


Are days and nights formed at same time in different countries in the world if it is so why if not why?

yes,days and nights are formed at the same time in different countries in the world.this is because of the rotation of the earth about the sun


How do the rotation of the earth and the sun produces days and nights and years?

The rotation of the Earth produces days and nights, because different areas are illuminated at different times. The orbit of the Earth creates years because the period of rotation dictates how long it takes for all the seasons to pass by. The rotation rate of the Sun does not affect either the days or the years of Earth.


What are the effects of the movement earth around the sun?

the revolution of the earth along with the tilt in the earths axis causes: varying lenghts of day and night changing seasons if the earths axis were straightvand not tilted there would be no seasons,since every point on the earth would recieve the same amount of light each day of the year.nor would there have been any variation in the lenghts of day and night-they would lost 12 hours each.


If the moon drifted out of the solar system how different will a day on earth be?

Shorter nights, actually we prolly wouldn't be here at all...
