Earth’s rotation occurs from west to east, which is why the Sun always appears to be rising on the eastern horizon and setting on the western. If you could view the Earth from above, looking down at the northern polar region, the planet would appear to be rotating counter-clockwise. However, viewed from the southern polar region, it appears to be r...
As already noted, due to the Earth’s axial tilt(or obliquity), day and night are not evenly divided. If the Earth’s axis were perpendicular to its orbital plane around the Sun, all places on Earth would experience equal amounts of day and night (i.e. 12 hours of day and night, respectively) every day during the year and there would be no seasonal v...
Of course, since the Earth is rotating around the Sun and not just on its axis, this process is reversed during the course of a year. Every six months, the Earth undergoes a half orbit and changes positions to the other side of the Sun, allowing the other hemisphere to experience longer days and warmer temperatures. Consequently, in extreme places ...

a day is the time it takes for the sun to move around the Earth. night occurs when the moon covers the sun. night occurs when clouds cover the sun. Research: Nussbaum (1985), Skamp (2004) These views are also evident in and related to the focus idea Forces without contact.
