Day and Night
Earth rotates (spins) on its axis and completes one rotation in 24 hours.
|
Earth rotates from west to east, therefore, the Sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west.
|
Because of this rotation, only the side of Earth facing the Sun is lit and therefore experiences day. The side of Earth not facing the Sun experiences night.
