Question by a friend's daughter - "Where does sun go in night?“
Poem by Deepa Bhatia on the above question
Where does sun go in night?
It is the part of earth that has moved away from its light
Does sun go anywhere?
No. It is the earth that goes elsewhere
Do you mean the earth like human being is moving?
Yes the earth around the sun is constantly rotating
When we are in dark and it is night here
It would be day and sun would shine elsewhere
How does the earth moves and rotate?
Hold the ball in your hand that you can locate
Move it round and round that is the way earth revolve
Hope your queries one by one are getting solve (d)
But why is one side of earth day and other night?
Hold the ball parallel to the artificial light
Observe now the light is falling on half of the ball
The other half is not that bright oh my doll
Why don’t we feel the movement of the earth tell me my lead?
Motion is realized when anything moves with the different speed
Earth moves at the speed which is so constant
And hence the chances that we come to know are so modest.
