Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is because the earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, creating day and night. As the earth rotates, different parts of it face the sun, and are therefore illuminated by its light. At any given time, approximately one-half of the earth is facing towards the sun and is therefore illuminated. The other half is facing away from the sun and is in darkness.
