Answer:
Rotation of earth on its own axis causes the formation of day and night.
Explanation:
- Spinning of earth on its own axis is called rotation
- Earth takes approximately 24hours for one rotation
- Due to it's spherical shape only one side gets sunlight at a time and the other side will be in dark
- Earth rotates from west to east
- The side receiving the sunlight experiences day time
- The side not receiving the sunlight experiences night time
- At any given time half of earth will be exposed to sun while the other half will be in darkness
- As the earth is inclined on its own axis the duration of the day and night is not same at all places
