＜Can you see how the light from the Sun only reaches one half of the Earth as it rotates?＞
知っていても正確に言えない書けない英語シリーズ（笑）。
We see the Sun rise and move across the sky every day, but the Sun does not really move.
It only seems that way to us.
Actually, Earth is spinning around and around, and we are moving around with the Earth.
The Earth takes 24 hours to complete one full rotation.
The Earth moves in an orbit around the Sun
The Earth moves around the Sun.
While the Earth orbits the Sun, it is also spinning on its own axis.
It spins round 365 times while it completes one orbit of the Sun.
That means 365 days pass and we call that a year.
The Earth is a planet.
There are 7 other planets also moving around the Sun.
You can see one of the other planets on most evenings, or early in the morning.
This planet is called Venus or iKhwezi or Naledi ya Masa. It is not a star.
