Day and Night

The big difference between night and day is you have dinner and hot showers and sleep at night and have breakfast at day. Its light at day and dark at night.

The light from the sun shines onto Earth making day. One side of Earth is always facing the sun. While the other side of Earth isn't, making night. The Sun's rays can't reach one side of Earth so it shines on half of Earth.

The Earth is rotating on it's axis, while it's orbiting around the sun. While Earth is rotating the dark side of Earth is moving to the light side. So say England is in the dark and New Zealand is in the light. As Earth is rotating England is slowly moving to the light and New Zealand is moving into the dark.

Most people think that the moon makes night. But no, the moon doesn't make night. The reason we see the moon is because the sun's rays are reflecting off the moon so that it looks like it's glowing. It takes 27 days for the moon to orbit Earth. It takes 24 hours for Earth to rotate right around and takes 365 days to orbit the sun.

Day and night is important. You need to rest at night and play all day. Sometimes the days are longer.
