Like all planets Earth rotates, or spins, on its axis . Earth takes 24 hours to finish one complete spin on its axis. As a result, one day is 24 hours. As Earth turns , different parts of the planet are in sunlight or darkness.

Which heavely bodies play hide and seek during eclipse?

During a solar eclipse, the moon passes in front of the sun. While this is happening, it blocks out most of the sunlight and creates a spectacular sight in the sky. The moon and sun are playing a game of hide and seek as they move across our view of the sky. The sun is much larger than the moon so it’s difficult for the moon to completely block out the sun, which is why we can still see a ring of sunlight around the moon during an eclipse. This is known as the “ring of fire” or annular eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, on the other hand, it’s the Earth blocking out some of the light from the sun that reaches the moon. The Earth casts a shadow onto the moon, making it look like it is slowly disappearing. This is known as a total lunar eclipse. Both of these events are spectacular to witness and remind us how the motions of the Earth, sun, and moon can affect our view of the sky.
