📖 Reading Passage

Why do we have day and night? Earth is always spinning like a top. This is called rotation. One full rotation takes 24 hours. The side facing the Sun ☀️ has daytime — it's bright and warm. The side facing away has nighttime 🌙 — it's dark and cooler. As Earth rotates, different places move into sunlight then darkness — that's why the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The Sun doesn't move around Earth — Earth spins!
