rotating movement on itself, it creates the phenomenon of day and night.

Explanation:

When a body that rotates around a star (translational movement), rotates on itself (rotational movement), the light from the star cannot reach the opposite part of the object, so at these points it is NIGHT and when in the rotation movement the point is in front of the star it is DAY.

Therefore, in rotating movement on itself, it creates the phenomenon of day and night.
