Question

Sam looks out her window in the morning and observes the Sun in the sky. Later she looks outside and it is still light out but she can't see the Sun anymore. Why?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Sam cannot see the Sun out of her window in the evening or later in the day because the Earth has moved! The Sun appears to move through the sky but it is actually the Earth that is moving. As the Earth spins the Sun appears in different parts of the sky.
