What are the changes in temperature between night and day?

Answer 1

How does day and night occur? Day and night occur because of earths rotation. It turns dark outside when the sun is on the other side of earth. All of this happens during the 24 hour cycle.Basiclly I'm saying is when the Earth rotates on its axis day and night occur.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

Day and night are caused due to Earth's axial rotation around the Sun; along with the fact that we have just one Sun.

Answer 9

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.

Answer 10

Because Earth is spinning constantly on its axis, and the Sun's light can only fall on one half at a time.
