    The earth's rotations cause day and night. The earth makes one complete rotation roughly every 24 hours. At any point in that rotation, an area of the globe is facing the sun. This is day. As the Earth continues to rotate, eventually this same point will rotate away from the sun. The absence of direct sunlight is what constitutes night.
