Question

2) Define Occultation?
3) How do day and night occur on the earth?​

Answer 1

2. the state of being hidden from view or lost to notice

3. by the rotation of earth

Answer 2

Answer:

In space, an occultation happens when one object passes in front of another from an observer's perspective. A simple example is a solar eclipse. From a certain area on Earth, the moon passes in front of the sun and either partially or totally blocks the light. So we can say that the sun is "eclipsed" or "occulted."

Explanation:

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.
