The side that is facing the sun is in the daylight.

It keeps changing. At any given moment, it would be the half directed toward the sun.

Why does dose the sun look like its moving?

The Sun appears to move across the sky due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. This rotation causes the Sun to rise in the east and set in the west from our perspective on Earth. This motion creates the illusion that the Sun is moving across the sky throughout the day.


Does the sun set?

The concept of the sun setting is a result of Earth's rotation, where the sun appears to disappear below the horizon due to the curvature of the Earth. The sun itself does not physically move or set; it is the Earth's motion that creates the illusion of sunrise and sunset.


Why does the sun appear to rise and set on the earth?

The sun rises and sets because the earth rotates constantly. As the earth rotates on its tilt, it gives the illusion that the sun is moving across the sky. A day is twenty-four hours and that's how long it takes for the earth to rotate once around on its tilt. So the sun is in one place and the earth is moving. Therefore, the sun rises then sets as the earth faces the sun then turns to face the outer universal space.


Is the earth between the moon and the sun?

Venus and Mars


How is the position of the full moon in relation to Earth and the sun different from the position of the full Venus in relation to Earth and the Sun?

When the moon is full, it is on exactly the opposite side of the Earth from the sun. A map of this would have the sun on the right side of a piece of paper, then Earth to its left followed by the moon to the left of the Earth.When Venus is full in the sky, it is on the opposite side of the sun from Earth. A drawing of this would have Venus all the way to the left, followed by the sun, then the Earth in a straight line (or vice versa), as long as they are directly on either side of the sun.
