Answer:
revolving of the earth on its own axis is called rotation of the earth.
Explanation:
We get day and night because the Earth spins (or rotates) on an imaginary line called its axis and different parts of the planet are facing towards the Sun or away from it.
It takes 24 hours for the world to turn all the way around, and we call this a day. Over a year, the length of the daytime in the part of the Earth where you live changes. Days are longer in the summer and shorter in the winter.
Answer:
spinning of earth on its axis is called rotation of earth.rotation causes day and night as it spins around the sun,so at one time only one part of earth can see the see the sun where it is daytime and the other part which cannot see the sun there will be night.as it slowly moves on axis the day part moves to night part and night part to day part and this causes day and night....
