What is daytime?

Daytime is when the Sun is up and it’s bright outside.

Imagine you’re playing with your favorite toy in your room. When the lights are on, you can see everything clearly, that's like daytime. The Sun is like a giant lightbulb in the sky. When it's up high, it shines down on Earth, making everything visible and warm.

The Earth spins around like a top. As it turns, different parts of the world face the Sun, and that’s when it becomes daytime for those people. The rest of the Earth is facing away from the Sun, so it's nighttime there, just like when you turn off your toy room light and go to bed.

Daytime means you can play outside, run around, and see all your friends. You don’t need a flashlight or nightlight because the Sun is doing the job for you!
