How Day and Night Happen
The sun seems to rise in the
morning, crosses the sky during the
day and sets at night. However the sun
does not actually move around the
earth. Earth’s turning on its axis makes
it look as if the sun is moves.
The earth makes a complete turn on
its axis for 24 hours. It is called as
rotation. It causes day and night. The
earth also moves around the sun. it
takes 365 days or a year. This process
is called revolution. The revolution
process causes the changes of the
season.
