What movement of earth is responsible for night and day?
Answered by admin @
Answer;
Rotation
Rotation is the movement of the earth that is responsible for day and night.
Explanation;
- Rotation is the movement of the earth in which the earth rotates around its own axis. The earth rotates from west to east, that is eastward, which happens to be anticlockwise or counter clockwise.
- One side of the Earth faces the sun and thus is bathed in light and heat, thus called day time, while the other faces away into space, that experiences cold and dark and thus known as night time.
- The change between day and night is caused by the rotation of the Earth. One day is determined by the time the earth takes to rotate on its own axis and includes both day time and night time
