Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes day and night. As the Earth rotates, only one-half of the Earth faces the sun at any given time. The half facing the sun is light (day) and the half facing away from the sun is dark (night).
Detailed explanation-2: -As Earth spins west to east about its axis, the Sun appears to move from east to west across the sky throughout the day. Another effect of Earth’s rotation is the deflection of the ocean and air currents-a phenomenon called the Coriolis effect.
