This blogpost is about, how night and day happens.
Did you know that Earth is the only planet that has night and day? And also we are the only planet who have 24 hours in a day?
Day and night is caused by the Earth's rotation with the Moon and the Sun. When half of Earth's globe is facing the darkness, we get night. At the same time, the other half of Earth has day. This is because it is facing towards the sun.
Here is an example:
While the Earth is rotating around the Sun, the moon is orbiting the Earth. Taking 365 days for the Earth to rotate around the Sun, and 24 hours for the Moon to orbit around Earth.
There are also other beliefs and old stories in how we get night and day.
