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 counter-clockwise rotation of Earth around its own axis is called Earth’s Rotation. Earth rotates once in about 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds with respect to the Sun. This rotation causes the day and night cycle on Earth. The length of one day depends on the tilt of the Earth’s Axis and its path around the sun.
