Earth Moon Sun Mind Map

1) The Earth rotates on its axis from west to east, causing the sun to rise in the east and set in the west over the course of 24 hours, creating the cycle of day and night. 2) Parts of the Earth facing the sun experience daylight and daytime, while parts facing away experience nighttime as they do not receive sunlight. 3) The Earth also revolves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit, taking approximately 365 days to complete one full revolution and year.
