The document discusses why we experience day and night and how it relates to the seasons. Day and night occur as the Earth spins on its axis, causing different parts of the planet to face toward and away from the sun. During summer in a particular hemisphere, there is a longer period of daylight due to the tilt of the Earth. We can see the moon at night through the reflection of sunlight, while the sun appears to disappear at night because the Earth's rotation prevents it from illuminating all areas at once.
