when the Earth moves through outer space, how do the movements create daytime and nighttime, and the four seasons ?

The rotation of earth on its axis creates seasons when it orbits the sun, and daytime and nighttime is caused by the rotation of earth around the sun. When earth rotates around the sun during certain times of the day the earth is facing the sun and so it is day but later in the day the earth spins and the surface is turned away from the sun so it is day.
Hope this helped
