How does the sun stay in the sky?

The Sun looks high because Earth turns. We ride on Earth. The Sun is far away. Day comes, then night.

The Sun is not hanging in our air. It is a huge star far away. We see it in the sky because Earth turns, so our side faces the Sun in the day. It is like turning near a lamp: the lamp seems to move, but you are moving. The Sun stays near Earth because they pull on each other.

The Sun seems to stay in the sky because Earth is spinning. Spinning means turning around once each day. When your part of Earth faces the Sun, you see daytime. When it turns away, you see night. Gravity, the pulling force between big things, keeps Earth traveling around the Sun instead of flying off. Fun fact: the Sun is moving too, carrying the whole solar system around the Milky Way galaxy.
