Show transcript
The axis is an imaginary straight line which goes through the centre of the Earth from the North to the South Pole
Day and night are due to the Earth rotating on its axis
It is daytime when the Earth is facing the Sun and night time when the Earth is facing away from the Sun
The Earth takes 24 hours to rotate on its axis
Models can be used to demonstrate how the Earth's rotation causes day and night
