Understanding Earth's Rotation and Day Lengths on Planets

The video explains the repeating pattern of day and night caused by Earth's rotation on its axis. As Earth rotates, different parts face the Sun, resulting in day and night. This rotation takes 24 hours. The video also highlights that other planets have different rotation speeds, affecting the length of their days. For instance, Jupiter's day is 10 Earth hours, while Venus's day is 243 Earth days. The video concludes with a reminder to subscribe.
