The document summarizes key facts about the rotation and movement of Earth, the Moon, and their relationship to the Sun. It states that Earth rotates on its axis over 24 hours, causing day and night, and also revolves around the Sun over the course of one year. Similarly, the Moon rotates on its axis over 28 days and also revolves around Earth, completing its orbit every 28 days.

2.  Earth is our planet and it is the third planet
from the sun.
 It rotates on its axis from the west to the
east.
 It takes 24 hours or one day to make one
complete rotation.

3. An axis is an
imaginary line that
connects the North
and South Poles

4. The earth does
not only rotate
on its axis. It
also moves

7.  The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes the
length and position of a shadow to change.
 The sun appears low in the early morning and late
afternoon. This make the shadow longer in the
early morning and late afternoon than at noon.

8.  The part of the Earth that is facing the Sun
experiences daytime.
 The part of the Earth that is facing away from the
Sun experiences night-time.

Earth on its axis.
 Day and Night occur due to the rotation of the
Earth on its axis.

9. The moon is the brightest object in the night sky. It
does not emit light. The Moon appears bright at
night because it reflects light from the Sun to the
Earth.
From the Earth, the Moon looks like it is changing
its shape. Actually it doesn’t. it is caused by the
different positions of the Moon that we see from the
Earth. This is called the phases of the Moon.
