Observe that light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object and is Reflect:
reflected and/or absorbed.
Light travels from the flashlight in a straight line until it reaches the surface of the mirror. The glass of the mirror reflects the light away from the mirror’s surface.
Absorb:
Light travels from the flashlight in a straight line until it reaches the surface of the door. The wood in the door absorbs the light, so that we are unable to see the light on the other side of the door.
The Earth turns in two ways. The first way that the Earth turns is it revolves around the sun. It takes the Earth 365 days or one year to completely rotate around the sun. The second way that the Earth turns is on an axis. To understand what an axis is, look at a globe. A globe sits slightly tilted and spins at an angle around a pole. In real life, the pole is imaginary, but we call this imaginary pole an axis. The sun appears to move everyday from east to west, because of the way that the Earth rotates. Japan is the first country to see the sun everyday and the U.S.A. is the last.
The moon and stars in the night sky also seem to gradually move every night. The moon revolves around the Earth, making the moon have eight different phases. It takes the moon a month to completely rotate around the Earth. The stars appear to move, because as the Earth revolves around the sun, the Earth’s position in space changes making the stars seem to have moved when they have not.
