EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Once every 24 hours Earth turns-or rotates on its axis-taking all of us with it. When we are on the side of Earth that is facing the Sun, we have daylight. As Earth continues its spin, we are moved to the side facing away from our Sun, and we have nighttime.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rotation causes the day-night cycle which also creates a corresponding cycle of temperature and humidity creates a corresponding cycle of temperature and humidity. Sea level rises and falls twice a day as the earth rotates. The tidal range is determined by the combined gravitational pull of the sun and moon.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. The term ‘one day’ is determined by the time the Earth takes to rotate once on its axis and includes both day time and night time.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rotation and Revolution "Rotation” refers to an object’s spinning motion about its own axis. “Revolution” refers the object’s orbital motion around another object. For example, Earth rotates on its own axis, producing the 24-hour day. Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year.

Detailed explanation-5: -During rotation, the surface of the earth that faces the sun receives sunlight and have daytime. The other part which is facing away from the sun, have night time.
