Earth's rotation refers to the spinning of the planet around its axis, which is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. This rotation is responsible for the cycle of day and night. Earth completes one full rotation approximately every 24 hours, which results in the diurnal cycle that we experience as daylight when the side of the Earth facing the Sun is illuminated, and nighttime when that side rotates away from the Sun.
