Curiosity Corner: Why do we have day and night instead of just one long day?
Earth's rotation on its axis is the fundamental reason for the cycle of day and night. As our planet spins, one side faces the Sun, experiencing daylight, while the opposite side turns away, entering nighttime. This continuous 24-hour rotation ensures a balanced distribution of light and darkness, making Earth habitable.
