Let's solve the worksheet step by step.
Understanding the Image and Concept:
The image shows a house with the sun in three positions:
-
Morning: Sun is on the
east side.
-
Noon: Sun is directly above the house (high in the sky).
-
Evening: Sun is on the
west side.
There are arrows showing the Earth spinning from
west to east, which makes the sun
appear to move across the sky from east to west.
This is due to the
rotation of the Earth. The Earth spins from west to east, so we see the sun rise in the east, move across the sky, and set in the west.

Now, let’s complete the sentences:
1.
Every ________, the sun rises in the east.
→ The sun rises every
morning.
✔ Answer: morning
2.
By the ________, the sun is high in the sky.
→ At
noon, the sun is at its highest point.
✔ Answer: noon
3.
In the ________, the sun sets in the west.
→ The sun sets in the
evening.
✔ Answer: evening
4.
At night, we cannot see the ________.
→ At night, the sun is not visible because it's on the opposite side of the Earth.
✔ Answer: sun
5.
We see the ________ instead.
→ At night, we see the
stars or
moon. Since this is a Grade 1 worksheet, "stars" is likely the expected answer.
✔ Answer: stars

✔ Final Answers:
1. Every
morning, the sun rises in the east.
2. By the
noon, the sun is high in the sky.
3. In the
evening, the sun sets in the west.
4. At night, we cannot see the
sun.
5. We see the
stars instead.

🔍 Explanation for Students (Grade 1 Level):
- The Earth spins around like a top, from
west to east.
- Because of this spin, the sun looks like it moves across the sky.
- It
rises in the east in the morning, gets high in the sky at
noon, and
sets in the west in the evening.
- When it's dark, the sun is not visible — that’s
nighttime.
- At night, we can see
stars in the sky instead.
This helps explain why the sun appears to move, even though it's actually the Earth moving! 🌞🌍✨
