 Champaign IL (The Conversation) Jan 11, 2022 
As the Earth orbits the sun, it spins around an axis - picture a stick going through the Earth, from the North Pole to the South Pole. During the 24 hours that it takes for the Earth to rotate once around its axis, every point on its surface faces toward the Sun for part of the time and away from it for part of the time. This is what causes daily changes in sunlight and temperature.
