Why do we stay on Earth?

This is because of something called gravity (GRAV-it-ee). Gravity is the force that keeps you (and all your toys) from floating into space.

What makes a day on Earth?

We get day and night because the Earth spins (or rotates) on an imaginary line called its axis and different parts of the planet are facing towards the Sun or away from it. It takes 24 hours for the world to turn all the way around, and we call this a day.

Why do we have seasons?

As the earth spins on its axis, producing night and day, it also moves about the sun in an elliptical (elongated circle) orbit that requires about 365 1/4 days to complete. The earth’s spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons.
