Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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: -The positions of Earth and the Sun over the course of a 24-hour rotation cause sunrise, sunset, day, and night.
Detailed explanation-3: -The earth revolves around the sun and rotates around its own axis. The rotation of the earth causes day and night. The part of the earth which faces the sun experiences the daytime whereas the part away from the sun gets no sunlight and hence the night.
