Question
8.) where is the sun at night? a. it moves to another part of the galaxy b. it is still there we just cant see it c. it disappears at night d. it is visible in the night sky
The sun is a star at the center of our solar - system. During the day, it is visible in the sky. At night, the side of the Earth we are on is facing away from the sun. It is not that the sun moves to another part of the galaxy (it is part of the Milky Way's disk and moves slowly in its orbit around the galaxy's center, but this is not relevant to the daily cycle). It doesn't disappear at night in a real sense; we just can't see it because the Earth has rotated and our location is in shadow. The sun is never visible in the night - sky from Earth as the Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight during the day and blocks the direct view of the sun at night as we are on the dark side of the planet.
