Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Night-time occurs when the side of the Earth you occupy is facing away from the Sun. This happens because the Earth rotates on its axis causing day and night. When your part of the Earth is facing towards the Sun, it is daytime, and when it turns away from the Sun, it is night-time. The other options are not correct explanations for night-time.
