The Earth rotates about its axis once every 24 hours. Day and night are due to the Earth rotating on its axis. 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.

hope it helps you.

Answer:Clearly, when you see the Sun shining in the sky, it is day, and when you don't it is night. So the real question is "why is the Sun in the sky at some times and not at others?" We can see that the Sun seems to move across the sky starting in the east in the morning, moving toward the south at noon, and then toward the west as the day ends. How does this happen?

Long ago, people believed many weird things about the Sun and how it traveled across the sky. The ancient Greeks believed that the Sun rode across the sky in a chariot drawn by four white horses driven by the god Heleius! These days, we know that the Sun appears to move across the sky because the Earth rotates on its axis.

So how does the turning of the Earth lead to the Sun's motion across the sky? It is easy to see this if you shine a bright light on the side of a globe in a darkened room. Find where you live on the globe. Now slowly spin the globe on its axis so that if you look down on the north pole, it is rotating counterclockwise.
