The temperature difference between night and day is typically due to the lack of sunlight at night, causing temperatures to drop. During the day, the sun's rays heat up the Earth's surface, increasing temperatures. The temperature variation can vary depending on geographic location, weather conditions, and time of year.
Because the earth revolves on its axis. each revolution takes 24 hours and at any given time half the earth faces the sun and half faces away from it. the half that faces away from it experiences night and the half that faces it experiences day, like a chicken on a spit.
Daytime is when the portion of the Earth's surface is in sunlight, and night is when that portion is facing away from the Sun. All planets and rotating bodies orbiting the Sun experience night and day to some extent.
Day and Night happen because the Earth rotates (spins) on its axis once every 24 hours. This spinning brings the bit of the Earth on which you live round to face the Sun for 12 hours each day - this makes Day. When you are on the side of the Earth facing away form the Sun, you are in the Earths shadow and - this makes Night.
Day and night occur because the earth rotates around its own axis. This rotation takes about 24 hours to complete. As the sun is a star and not a planet, it stands still, and when one side of earth faces the sun - we call it day. And the side facing away from sun is cast in shadow - we call it night.
Day and night occur because the Earth is a rotating sphere, only half of which can be illuminated by the Sun at any one time. The sun-lit side is the day side, while the darkened side is in night.
If the Earth did not rotate, it would still experience daylight over the entire surface (although for much longer extended periods) because the Earth also revolves around the Sun. This situation occurs at the poles due to the Earth's tilt with regard to its rotational axis. In any event, over a given year's time, all areas of the globe experience a total of 6 months of day and 6 months of night. At the poles, there is 6 months of continuous day followed by 6 months of continuous night.
*If the Earth were tidally locked with the Sun, as the Moon is with the Earth, and the rotation/revolution periods were the same, only one side of the Earth would have perpetual day, while the other had perpetual night. This scenario would be highly unlikely to occur for a major planet.
Day and night are caused due to Earth's axial rotation around the Sun; along with the fact that we have just one Sun.
The earth revolves around its own axis once every 24 hours. During part of this revolution, whatever side you're on is away from the sun. That's night.

Has day temperature ever been less than night temperature anywhere in the world?
The day temperature is frequently less that the night temperature in the UK, particularly in Winter. In West Yorkshire on the night of Dec 5-6th 2009, it reached 52F (11C) during the night, when the maximum temperature between 8am and 6pm on both the 5th and the 6th was 46F (8C).
What causes temperature difference between daytime and night time?
The sun warms the surface of the earth during the day. At night, especially a clear night, that heat rises from the earth into the atmosphere, lowering the temperature.
What is the day and night temperature for mercury?
Bloody hot in the day and hot at night
Do Water temperature changes as much as atmospheric temperature?
No, the changes are far more gradual and are seasonal rather than day to day
Which of these terms refers to the day to day changes in temperature and wind speed and precipitation?
The term "weather" refers to the day-to-day changes in temperature, wind speed, and precipitation in a particular location.
What are the changes in day and night?
Day and night occur due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. During the day, the side of the Earth facing the Sun experiences daylight, while the opposite side is in darkness. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet transition between day and night.
What you notice about daily and seasonal changes in the day and night patterns?
The season changes when the light at night changes. Also flowers grow and the temperature changes. =)
Land surfaces without water or vegetation may expect large temperature changes from day to night?
Yes, that is correct. Surfaces without water or vegetation have low heat capacity, meaning they can heat up quickly during the day and cool down rapidly at night. This leads to large temperature fluctuations between day and night.
Why are there different temperature difference between day and night?
The sun provides warmth during the day, while the temperature drops during the night when the sun is gone.
Temperature difference between night and day in the Sahara desert?
help i think its 125 day and night 85 around
Which planet experiences the greatest change between its actual day temperature and actual night temperature?
Mercury with a surface temperature of 700K in the daytime and 100K in the night
Do deserts have large changes in temperature on a daily basis?
Yes, due to the of the lack of humidity and cloud cover the difference between day and night temperatures in the desert can be quite extreme.
What is the difference between mercury's night and day temperature's?
It is roughly 300degrees. Alain
What is the temperature difference between day and night on Mercury?
It is roughly 300degrees. Alain

What is the temperature in Fahrenheit on earth?
The temperature always changes from day to night, but an average global temperature used by scientists is 59 to 61° Fahrenheit (15 to 16° Celsius).
Does desert temperatures usually show large changes between day and night?
true
