3rd Term Science: Spinning in Space

Day & Night - Spinning in Space


 * Why do we have day and night?**

We have day and night because the Earth rotates. It spins on its axis, which is an imaginary line passing through the North and South Poles.

The Earth spins slowly all the time, but we don't feel any movement because it turns smoothly and at the same speed.


 * How long does it take the Earth to turn around?**

The Earth takes a whole day (24 hours) to make a complete turn.
