Day and Night
When the side of Earth
where you live faces the
sun, it is d a y t i m e.
When the part of Earth
where you live is facing
away from the sun, it is
n i g h t - t i m e.
A Year
While Earth spins on its own
axis, it also takes a trip around
the sun. 
It takes approximately 365.25
days to complete its revolution,
which is the basis of our
calendar year. 
This is the reason why
we add a leap day to
February every four
years (in most cases)
to account for the
additional 0.25 days
in each Earth’s
revolution.

Earth ’s Tilt
Our planet is tilted
relative to the sun.
The North Pole faces
the sun for half a
year, while the South
Pole faces the sun for
the other half.
