The correct answer is B) As Earth rotates towards the east, the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west.
To understand why Earth's rotation causes day and night, let's start by visualizing the Earth and its rotation. Imagine you are looking down on Earth from above the North Pole. Now, picture the Earth spinning counterclockwise. As the Earth rotates, different parts of it are exposed to the sun's light.
When a specific location on Earth is facing towards the sun, it experiences daylight, which we call daytime. This is because the sun's light is reaching that part of the Earth. As the Earth continues to rotate, that location moves away from the sun, and it becomes nighttime because it is now facing away from the sun, and it is in the shadow created by the Earth.
So, it is the rotation of the Earth that causes the sun to appear to rise in the east (sunrise) and set in the west (sunset), which creates the alternating pattern of day and night.
