OUR UNIVERSE
Amazing Facts:
We get day and night because the Earth spins (or rotates) on an imaginary line called its axis and different parts of
the planet are facing towards the Sun or away from it. The part of the earth that faces the sun and gets its lights and
heat experiences day and the part turned away from the sun experiences nightime.
The world takes 24 hours to move around the sun and this causes days on earth. Over a year, the length of the
daytime in the part of the Earth where you live, changes. Days are longer in the summer and shorter in the winter.
autumn equinoxes.
Calendar: A calendar tells us dates and days of all the twelve months of the year. It also mentions the days in a
week and the total number of days in a month. While some months have thirty one days, some have only thirty.
February being the shortest month of the year has only twenty eight days.
Whereas weather refers to short-term changes in the atmosphere, climate describes what the weather is like over a
long period of time in a specific area. Different regions can have different climates. In most places, weather can
change from minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and season-to-season. Climate, however, is the average
of weather over time and space.
Seasons are caused because of the Earth's movement around the Sun. The Earth travels around the Sun once a year or every 365
days. As the Earth moves around the Sun, the amount of sunlight each location on the planet gets every day from the sun changes
slightly. This change causes the seasons.
