The Earth spins
The Earth is: - spherical -the third planet from the sun - in orbit around the sun The Earth spins on an irregular axis around the sun, meaning - the Earth is tilted!
WHERE THE EARTH IS
The earth's orbit
The Earth's place in the solar system causes day and night, due to it's place around the Sun, which stays still.
+ Photo Example
+ Photo Example
The sun is facing the other side of the world. This means it's dark outside, and we get to see the moon, instead.
During Nighttime
The sun is facing towards us: We get direct sunlight, which makes it bright outside, makes it warm and casts shadows.
During Daytime:

During the daytime, there are multiple times during the day that are affected by our orbit around the Sun: - Morning: the sun is rising, temperature is lower - This is because the Sun is still barely making contact with the Earth's surface - and you - This makes it darker, cooler- Noon: the Sun is high; temperature at it's highest- This is because the Sun is directly next to us, making the most contact with Earth - This makes it the brightest part of the day, and the hottest - Afternoon/ Night : the Sun is lowering/ setting, temperature going back down- This is because the Sun is at an angle once again with Earth, reversing what happened during the Morning - This makes the afternoon warm and it's getting darker

A Little Quiz (Only Four Questions!!!)
Class Poll
Click on the yellow dot and draw: The Sun touching your house on Earth. What do you think that looks like? After you've done that - screenshot or save the photo and post it to the Classroom Google Slides- the blue dot. Thank you for participating!
Drawing Fun!!
When the Sun goes away, we get the moon, and the stars. The sun is behind us, like in the photo.
During the Daytime, we're in the spot where the sun is touching - the arrows pointing towards us are the sun's rays.
The photo shows a picture of the Earth in the foreground, a line through it labelled "axis", a circle drawn around it, labelled "night" on the dark side and "day" on the side exposed to the light, where the Sun can be seen on the far end of the photo. The background is completely black.
Photo shows Mercury, Venus and Earth on a black backdrop. All three planets have lines through them showing their axis. Mercury and Venus depict straight lines, showing their axis is straight up and down. Earth, however, has a diagonal axis line, showing that it's tilted.

Image shows a the Earth, across from the Sun. Off of the Sun come three yellow arrows pointing towards the Earth, representing the Sun's rays. The section of the Earth facing the Sun is labelled "Day". The section away from the Earth is labelled Night. The top 1/3 of the Earth on Night side is labelled "Summer" and the bottom 2/3 is labelled "Winter". At the very bottom there is an arrow pointing to the South Pole, and it is labelled "Polar Night".
