Earth's Spin Party
Where does the Sun go when it gets dark outside?
Every evening the Sun slips below the hills, the sky goes velvet, and somewhere a kid asks the oldest question there is: where did it GO? Here's the twist — the Sun didn't go anywhere. It's exactly where it always is, blazing away. The thing that moved was you.
You're standing on a giant ball of rock called Earth, and that ball is spinning. Right now, this very second, you're being carried around in a slow, smooth turn — about one full spin every twenty-four hours. You can't feel it, because everything around you turns along with you.
