The Earth moves
The Sun does not move. The Earth moves. It spins like a top.
It turns once every 24 hours. This is a day. Half the Earth
always gets light from the Sun. In this half it is day. The
other half does not get light. In this half, it is night. The Earth
also moves around the Sun. This takes one year.

and heat from the Sun. Every day, the Sun rises at dawn
and sets at dusk. At midday the Sun is high in the sky. At
