Earth rotates on its axis Earth orbits around the sun the moon rotates on its axis the moon orbits around Earth
I gave my students this multiple choice question: Which motion causes the pattern of day and night on Earth?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- Earth rotates on its axis
- Earth orbits around the sun
- the moon rotates on its axis
- the moon orbits around Earth

Could you tell me which one is correct?

Earth rotates on its axis
