Detailed explanation-1: -The Earth orbits the sun once every 365 days and rotates about its axis once every 24 hours. Day and night are due to the Earth rotating on its axis, not its orbiting around the sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -Earth has magnetic field with North & South Poles. The axis of rotation is different from the magnetic poles. This difference creates force for the earth to rotate on its axis. The same is the case with all planets in the Solar System.
Detailed explanation-3: -We get day and night because the Earth rotates on an imaginary line called an axis. During daytime, your part of the Earth is facing the sun. As the Earth rotates you move away from the sun until eventually, the sun is no longer visible.
