Night is when it is dark outside because the Earth rotates on its axis.

The Earth spins like a giant top.

As it turns, different parts of the Earth move away from the Sun.

This movement causes nighttime in those areas.

During the daytime, when we face the Sun, it lights up the sky.

The Sun is very bright, so we cannot see stars and the moon clearly.

When night falls, we have turned away from the Sun.

This allows us to see the stars shining in the dark sky, as well as the moon.

The darkness of night helps these celestial objects stand out.

The Earth's rotation takes about 24 hours to complete one full turn.

This means that every part of the Earth experiences daytime and nighttime.

If it is sunny in one place, it is dark in another place on the opposite side of the planet.

Did you know that the stars you see at night are actually suns located very far away?

Also, the moon travels around the Earth, and it changes shape from night to night!
