Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As Earth rotates, it seems like the sun is moving across the sky, but it’s really the Earth that is spinning. It takes 24 hours to complete one rotation, which is why there are 24 hours in one day.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the Earth spins on its axis, we rotate through a full circle of 360⁰ in 24 hours. We rotate by 15⁰ every hour. We get this value by dividing 3600 by 24 hours.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
