How does night and day happen?

Half of the earth has day from the sun and the other half is night, from the sun's reflection on the moon.

Night and day happens from the sun and the moon.  This means that during the day it's light and we have sun, when it's night time it's dark and we have the moon. For example the sun lights up the moon and the moon reflects on to the earth and then it appears. The earth rotates on its axis, so the top of the earth is dark and the bottom of earth is light.

Did you know that the moon controls the tides. This means when the moon and the sun is closer to the Earth, we have a very heavy gravitational pull towards us and that makes us to appear with a King Tide in the ocean.

Did you know that there is 24 hours in a day, 12 hours in the day and 12 hours in the night.  And that happens by the rotation of the earth and the moon going around the sun, they rotate around the sun and the sun shines on half of the earth for 12 hours and the other half the sun shines on to the moon, and then the moon shines on the earth for 12 hours.

Did you know that the sun is fixed.  Fixed means that the sun canẗ rotate or move around the planets. For example all the planets rotate around the sun, and the sun can not rotate around the planets because it is fixed. If we didn't have a fixed Sun it would most likely mean that we wouldn't have much Sunlight/daylight because the Sun and Earth will be moving at the same time.

Today room 9&10 were working on explanation writing and the topic we were writing about is how night and day happens.
This my explanation about how night and day happens.
