Day And Night


When Sun shines in the sky, it is day, and when not it is night.
We all know about this today. But long ago, people believed many weird things about the Sun and how it traveled across the sky.
The ancient Greeks believed that the Sun rode across the sky in a chariot drawn by four white horses driven by the god Heleius!
Now we know that the Sun appears to move across the sky because the Earth rotates on its axis.
The Earth always spins at the same speed (about 1000 miles per hour or 2200 kilometers per hour).
Half of the Earth is always in the light and half of the Earth is always in the dark.
With advanced technologies, we are very lucky than our ancestors to see both day and night at the same time.
Have you ever wondered why don't we feel Earth's motion?

  6. We do not feel that we are rotating, or traveling in an orbit around the sun just because we are used to it. It is just like asking why we do not see things upside down, when the impressions received by the retina from the lens of the eye is upside down, like any other image formed by any other lens. We see things straight just because the brain reverses the images sent by the sensory nerves from the retina.
    Also, do you know a newborn baby can hear sounds that we cannot hear? The average hearing range of human beings is between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. But a baby can hear above 20,000 Hz and below 20 Hz. Animals like cats and dogs too can hear sounds beyond the human beings range!
