Why does the Sun rise?








Although we can’t feel it,
The earth is always moving.
It orbits, or goes round, the Sun,
And this journey takes a whole year.
At the same time the Earth itself is spinning-
one whole spin every 24 hours.
As the Earth spins, the Sun comes into view
And it seems to move across the sky.
The Earth spins from West to east,
So the Sun is in the East when we first see it in the morning,
and in the West when it sets in the evening.
