Question

how does the rotation and revolution of the earth contribute to the occurrence of day and night?
rotation causes the earth to orbit the sun, creating daylight when the sun is overhead and darkness when it is on the opposite side of the earth.
revolution causes the earth to spin on its axis, resulting in the sun appearing to rise in the east and set in the west, causing alternating periods of daylight and darkness.
rotation causes the earth to face towards the sun, resulting in daylight, while revolution around the sun causes nighttime when the earth faces away from the sun.
revolution causes the earth to tilt on its axis, causing different parts of the earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight, resulting in the alternation of day and night.

Explanation:

The Earth's rotation on its axis causes day - night cycle. As the Earth rotates, different parts face the Sun (daytime) or face away (nighttime). Revolution is the Earth's orbit around the Sun and is related to seasons, not the basic day - night cycle.

Answer:

None of the given options are correct. The Earth's rotation on its axis causes the alternation of day and night as different parts of the Earth are exposed to the Sun or not. Revolution is the Earth's movement around the Sun and is mainly related to the change of seasons, not the daily day - night cycle.
