Question
On average, there are as many hours of darkness as there are of daylight. Why?
As the Earth rotates, any location faces the Sun half the time and is turned away the other half
Because Winter requires short days and Summer long days, so day and night average to 12 hours each
As the Earth orbits the Sun, half the time we are close to the Sun, and half the time far away
Because half the time Earth is tilted toward the Sun, half of the time away from the Sun
Because this balances the hot and cold temperatures, keeping us at a livable level

Earth’s spinning causes the alternation of day and night, this lesson can introduce the actual fact that Earth’s axis isn't perpendicular to the Sun. this implies the Sun doesn't lay continuously directly on top of the equator as students could have found within the lesson Spinning into Darkness and light-weight. In fact, it's generally to the north and generally to the south of the equator. The alternation of thoseconfigurations creates the seasons on Earth............
