Science Understanding / Earth and space sciences. Predictable phenomena on Earth, including seasons and eclipses, are caused by the relative positions of the sun, Earth and the moon (ACSSU115). - investigating natural phenomena such as lunar and solar eclipses, seasons and phases of the moon.
This is what causes day and night - one side of the Earth is facing the sun - so it's light, and the other doesn't - so it's dark. The sun lights the moon and that is why at night we see the moon. The sun radiates energy and warms up the Earth. Without that energy the life on our planet will not be possible. The Moon is Earth's natural satellite and it revolves around the Earth, like the Sun revolves around the Sun. The Moon has a gravitational pull that causes a rise and fall of ocean tides.
