How does the motion of the Earth relate to day and night?

0

As the Earth orbits the sun, it is spinning on its axis (Kind of like a basketball being spun on a player’s finger). The sun can only hit half of the Earth at once. So when you are on the side of the Earth that is facing away from the sun, it is night. When it is facing the sun, it is day.
