In the morning, the sun appers to rise in the East.In the evening, it appers to sets in the West.But the sun does not move at all.It only seems to mone across the skybecause the Earth is spinning.

When the sun shines on the spinning Earth, only the side of the Earth facing the sun gets light. the other half of the Earthis in shadow.As the Earth spins, the UK moves into the light. This gives us Day and Night.
