Solution

The correct option is A Day and night

  • The Earth experiences days and nights as a result of the planet spinning on its axis.
  • As the planet spins, the part that is facing the sun experiences day, while it is a night for the part facing away from the sun.
  • The alternation between day and night is caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
  • If the Earth did not rotate as it does, the day/night cycle would be very different or possibly even nonexistent.
