Question

what causes day and night on earth? (1 point)
the orbit of earth around the sun
the motion of the sun to different latitudes
the rotation of earth
the tilt of earth on its axis

Explanation:

• The orbit of Earth around the sun causes seasons.
• The motion of the sun to different latitudes is not a valid scientific cause for day - night.
• The tilt of Earth on its axis is related to seasons and variation in day - night length at different times of the year but not the basic day - night cycle.
• The rotation of Earth (spinning on its axis) causes day and night. As Earth rotates, different parts of it face towards (day) or away from (night) the sun.

Answer:

the rotation of Earth
