Day and Night

At night we have dinner, have a shower, watch TV and go to bed. At day we go to school or go to work and have breakfast.

The sun only shines on half of the earth which  means on the other half it is night time. Earth spins on its axis making day turn into night .

When the Earth spins around, the side that was dark turns into day time and the side that was daytime turns into night time.The Earth takes 24 hours to spin on its axis and get back where it was.
The moon just goes around Earth so the moon has nothing to do with day and night.

Daytime is important because if we didn't have daytime we would be very cold and we would die.
