Day & Night Demo
We can show why we have day and night in a dark room. You will need a globe (or a plain ball) to be the Earth and a bright torch to be the Sun.
- Place a small sticker on the globe where the UK is.
- Shine the torch (the Sun) on the globe (the Earth).
- Slowly spin (rotate) the globe on its axis.
- Watch how the sticker (the UK) moves from the light (daytime) into the globe's own shadow (night-time) and then back into the light.
