Question

explain how does the daily cycle of daytime and nighttime depend on earth’s rotation?
a. the sun rises in the west and sets in the east because earth rotates west to east.
b. it is morning on the part of earth that is turning into the sun and evening on the part that is turning away from the sun.
c. the northern hemisphere experiences daytime while the southern hemisphere experiences nighttime because earth rotates around its axis.

Explanation:

The daily cycle of day - time and night - time is due to Earth's rotation. As Earth rotates on its axis, the part facing the sun has daytime and the part turning away has nighttime. Option A has the wrong direction of sunrise and sunset. Option C is incorrect as day - night is not divided by hemispheres based on rotation; both hemispheres experience day and night in a 24 - hour cycle.

Answer:

B. It is morning on the part of Earth that is turning into the sun and evening on the part that is turning away from the sun.
