A simple labeled diagram illustrating Earth's rotation causing day and night. The Sun is shown on the left with arrows indicating sunlight hitting Earth. The Earth globe is split into a light (day) side facing the Sun and a dark (night) side facing away. The North Pole and South Pole are labeled. A curved green arrow around Earth's equator indicates the direction of rotation (west to east). Two clocks represent Day (left, bright) and Night (right, dark). A box at the bottom states Earth rotates once every 24 hours.
