Picture the earth as being a basket ball and the sun a flashlight. Shine the flashlight on the basket ball and you will see that the light only shines on one side. As the earth spins on its own axis the sun will appear to move around the earth. Really the earth is moving around the sun and spinning at the same time. If it didn't then someone would always have sunlight and someone on the other side would always be in the dark.
