Sky during the night time

What are the things we observe in the sky during night?

The Sun is the star at the centre of our solar system. Here is a useful mnemonic to help remember their order: My Very Easy Method Just Shows Us the Names of Planets. The eight planets orbit the sun.

The moon rotates around the Earth... Sun Earth moon ...as the Earth rotates around the Sun.

At any time, half of the Earth faces the sun and therefore receives light. This part is in day. This part is in night. The other half faces away from the Sun, and so receives very little light.

Do you know... How long it takes the Earth to spin round once? Which direction the Earth turns? How long it takes the Earth to rotate the Sun once? Which direction the Earth rotates the sun? It takes 24 hours. It turns anti-clockwise. It takes 365¼ days OR 1 year It turns anti-clockwise.
