  • 1Today, we'll learn about day and night.
  • 2When we see the Sun is shining in the sky, it is day.
  • 3And when we don't, it's night.
  • 4So the question is why is the Sun in the sky seen at some times and not at others.
  • 5We see that the Sun seems to move across the sky starting in the east in the morning.
  • 6Then moves toward the south at noon and then finally toward the west as the day ends.
  • 7Hmm, how does this happen?
  • 8Let's see why we have days and nights.
  • 9Let's assume this globe is our Earth and this lamp is the Sun.
  • 10Now, look closely.
  • 11The light is shining only on one side.
  • 12This is day.
  • 13Now, look at the other part and you can see it's dark.
  • 14This is night.
  • 15When the Earth rotates, day changes to night and night changes to day.
  • 16That's how the rotation of the Earth causes day and night.
  • 17Pretty cool.
