In our literacy groups this term we have been doing science. Each literacy group has something different to do, but all of the topics are based on space. Our literacy group is doing how earth's day and nights are occurred. From our research I have found out this...
Earths day and nights occur from the positioning of the sun on earth. The earth rotates anti - clockwise on it's axis, as it orbits the sun. At midnight, one side of the earth is covered in darkness because the sun is positioned on the opposite side of the earth, because that side of the earth is in the direct view of the sun. At 6pm and 6am, there is only a little bit of light because the sun is not pointing directly at it. The earth takes 24 hours to rotate in a full 360 degree circle.
