Exploring the Concept of Day and Night

The video explains Earth's rotation, highlighting that depending on your location, you could be rotating as fast as 1600 km/h, faster than a jet plane. Despite this speed, we don't feel the spin due to Earth's massive size, but we observe its effects through the cycle of sunrise and sunset. Earth rotates around an imaginary axis from the North Pole, completing a rotation every 23 hours and 56 minutes, rounded to 24 hours, which we call a day.
