Natural phenomenon is all phenomena that are not artificial. Many natural phenomena happen in this earth. For example earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption. Day and night included one of them. This phenomena is mentioned in Al Qur’an surah Ali Imran: 190
However, what causes day and night? That’s the explanation
Earth has two movement. The first one is revolution. Revolution is earth’s movement around the sun. If the Earth was perfectly balanced, as it is in this animation, we wouldn’t have different seasons and the sun would always rise and set at the same time every day. So, revolution causes the changes of the seasons
The second one is rotation. Rotation is the movement of earth around its own axis. The earth's axis is an imaginary line that runs through the earth and its poles. The earth’s axis is slanted at a 23.5 degree angle. One rotation of earth around its axis takes about 24 hours. We call this 24 hours one day. The side of the earth facing the sun is in daylight. The other side of the earth experiences night.
Unlike how we see it on earth, the sun actually stays in the same spot all the time and rotates from west to east for rising and setting. Day and night is caused by earth's rotation on its axis. As shown, Africa and Europe are having complete daylight while North America and South America are in complete darkness. Earth's rotation is very important because it is the cause for day and night which affects your everyday life.
