Night time- is when it is dark outside.
Rotation- is when the earth rotates on its axis. One rotation is 24 hours.
Axis-Invisible line that the earth rotates on.

As we have learned in the videos above, our earth rotates every single day (one day). It rotates on its axis at about a 23* angle and takes 24 hours to go completely around the sun. it is evened out into about 12 hours of day light, and 12 hours of sunlight.
We get shadows because of the direction that the earth is with the sun at the time. when the sun is coming from the east, your shadow will show on the west. when it comes from the west, it will show on the east, and so on. this happens because your body blocks the sun in certain areas to make your shadow.
If you guys are confused about any of this, please let me know, and we will work through it together to make sure you are understanding.]]> 2019-04-27 19:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/marissa_stewart/tomwx0uclyhs/wish/354702410 Safety camille_miller https://padlet.com/marissa_stewart/tomwx0uclyhs/wish/354702679 Before I start telling you what we will be doing, lets talk about safety.
