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. 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-2: -As the Earth moves around the Sun it rotates on its axis, so we have day and night. The side of the Earth facing the Sun is bathed in light and heat (daytime). The side of the Earth facing away from the Sun, out towards space, is darker and colder (nighttime).
Detailed explanation-3: -Expert-Verified Answer The earth take 24hours to complete 1 rotation. The day and night are caused due to earth’s rotation on its axis. when 1/2 of the earth is facing towards the sun, thn it is day and the 1/2 part opposite to the sun then it is night.
