Question

Explain with a diagram how rotation causes day and nights

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

It is day time on the part of the earth facing the sun and night time when it is completely  away from the sun and does not get sunlight. The earth is constantly rotating on its axis and therefore, the daylight pattern is changing based on that rotation.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Rotation causes days and nights to follow each other in a regular pattern, repeated

every 24 hours.

• The earth takes 24 hours to complete one rotation, from west to east.

• The half of the earth which faces the sun is lighted, which causes day in this half.

• The other half is in darkness, causing night in this half.

• As the earth moves from west to east, the dark half gradually faces the sun, while

the lighted half turns away from the sun. This is how day follows night.
