Earth in Space

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

In this reason for the days and nights on earth worksheet, young scholars study the reasons the Earth has days and nights by answering 28 questions about earth's rotation, the equator, the relationship between the sun and moon, and the earth's revolution. Students calculate the distance the earth travels in a minute, an hour, a day and a year given its speed. Young scholars interpret diagrams and answer questions about the seasons.
