Where does the Sun go at night?

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentChip asked me where the Sun goes at night. I'm a scientist, and this is what the afternoon is for now.

2. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI figured it clocks out. Somewhere out west there's a parking lot with a very bright truck in it.

3. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe Sun does not go anywhere. Earth is spinning like a top.

4. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the Sun is staying late, and we're the ones leaving?

5. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentHalf of Earth faces the Sun and has day. The other half faces away and has night.

6. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo nobody's in charge of the lights. Somebody should be in charge of the lights.

7. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentPer NASA, Earth takes about twenty-four hours to spin all the way around. So your side turns away from the Sun every evening.

8. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo my whole street is being turned away from the Sun. And nobody's told the neighbors.

9. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentNobody needs telling. It's a planet, Chip, not a group chat.

10. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOkay, real question. If Earth spins that fast, why don't we feel it?

11. 

    Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThat's the right question. Everything spins along with you at a smooth, steady speed: you, the air, the house.

12. 

    Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentYou only feel speeding up or slowing down.

13. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo I've been going around once a day this whole time, and I still got here late.
