Answer:

The Earth orbits the sun once every 365 days and rotates about its axis once every 24 hours. Day and night are due to the Earth rotating on its axis, not it's orbiting around the sun. The term 'one day is determined by the time the Earth takes to rotate once on its axis and includes both daytime and nighttime.

Answer:

Day and night. The Earth is a sphere, or ball, which spins round and round as it travels around the Sun. ... The side facing away is cooler and darker, and experiences night. Because the Earth is constantly spinning, the line between day and night is always moving around the planet.
