Read the passage to yourself, then answer the question that follows.

Earth is a large round planet.  As it travels around the Sun it rotates, or spins.  Let’s say it is noon and the Sun is straight above your head.  Earth rotates, turning you away from the Sun.  As Earth turns toward the east, the sun seems to sink lower in the sky.  When you can no longer see the Sun, your part of the Earth is facing space, and the sky is dark.  It is night.  Earth keeps rotating until the Sun can be seen in the eastern sky.  Before long, the Sun is directly overhead again.  This is called a rotation.  It takes Earth one day or 24 hours to rotate once.
