This Week in 4th For the Week of Nov. 12-

16 2018Science It is important for you to know that:

Earth rotates (spins) on its axis and completes one rotation in 24 hours.

Earth rotates from west to east, therefore, the Sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west.

Because of this rotation, only the side of Earth facing the Sun is lit and therefore experiences day; the side of Earth not facing the Sun experiences night. Shadows

It is important for you to know that objects on Earth cast shadows that help show Earth’s rotation. 

The angle of the Sun (low in the sky to higher in the sky) changes the length of the shadow cast behind an object.

In the morning, the Sun appears low in the sky so objects cast long shadows.

As Earth rotates, the Sun appears higher in the sky, and the shadows get shorter.

At noon, with the Sun overhead, objects cast short shadows or no shadow at all.

As Earth continues to rotate and the Sun appears lower in the sky toward evening, the shadows get longer again.
