When the Sun ☀️ is shining on your part of Earth, is it day or night?
✗Thinking the Sun goes away and hides at night. 😴
The Sun stays! 🌞 Our Earth spins round, so our side just turns away from the Sun. 🌍
✗Thinking the Moon makes its own bright light. 🌙
The Moon does not make light. It shines because the Sun lights it up! ✨
