Astronomical Cycles
BY LEE YORKE
Earth has many cycles that are apart of our everyday lives such as rotation. For example, Every approximately 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds Earth makes a full rotation on our planet on its axis, Earths axis is a line we say goes through the middle of the north and south pole. During the day, half of Earth will see daylight and the other side will receive darkness, this is because one side of the planet is facing the sun receiving all the energetic heat and the other side is cooling down from the previous day. Although the side facing away from the sun is in the the shadow of space, it isn't completely dark. This is because the suns light is reflecting off the moon which is revolving around Earth.
