The Earth rotates on an imaginary axis which runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. It takes the Earth 24 hours to rotate on its axis.
When we wake up it appears the Sun rises in the East and when we go to sleep it sets in the West. The Sun is not actually moving, it is the Earth which is rotating about its axis.
The Earth also rotates around the Sun while it is rotating about its own axis. This axis gives us the Seasons. When the Earth's axis is pointing towards the Sun, the days are longer because we get sunlight for longer but when the Earth has rotated around to the other side of the Sun, the days get shorter because the axis is now pointing away from the Sun. The days gets shorter and the nights get longer.
It takes the Earth 365 1/4 days to orbit the Sun. So we have only 365 days in a year and then every 4 years we have 366 days because we add the 1/4 to make a whole day. The moon rotates around the Earth, taking approximately 28 days, this gives us the phases of the moon.

Why are nights cooler and days warmer?
Nights are cooler because the sun is not shining, so there is no direct heat to warm the air. During the day, sunlight warms the Earth's surface, which then radiates heat into the atmosphere, leading to warmer temperatures.
How do we know how the Earth rotates around the Sun?
We know that the Earth rotates around the Sun through observations and scientific evidence, such as the changing positions of stars in the sky throughout the year, the varying lengths of days and nights, and the predictable patterns of seasons.
What would happen if the Earth rotated more slowly than it currently does?
If the Earth rotated more slowly, days would be longer and nights would be longer. This could affect weather patterns, ocean currents, and the overall climate on Earth.
Why are there creaking noises in attics of old houses on cold nights in terms of thermal expansion?
The creaking noises in attics of old houses on cold nights are often caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the building materials. As temperatures drop, the materials in the attic contract and shift, creating the creaking sounds. This phenomenon is particularly common in older houses where materials may have aged and become more prone to movement.
