How Day and Night Happen

The earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night, not the sun moving around the earth. As the earth rotates, it creates the illusion that the sun is moving across the sky. The earth also revolves around the sun over the course of 365 days, which causes the changes in seasons.

How Day and Night Happen

The sun seems to rise in the morning, crosses the sky during the day and sets at night. However
the sun does not actually move around the earth. Earths turning on its axis makes it look as if the
sun is moves.
The earth makes a complete turn on its axis for 24 hours. It is called as rotation. It causes day and
night. The earth also moves around the sun. It takes 365 days or a year. This process is called
revolution. The revolution process causes the changes of the season.
