We can’t see that the earth is moving because everything e 8 on the earth is turning with us. As the earth turns around every twentyfour hours,first one half f 9 the sun and then the other half. When our half of the earth is facing the sun,we say it is “day”. When our half is a 10 from the sun,we say it is “night”.
