Step 1: Labeling Daytime and Nighttime
Observation from the image:
- The Earth is shown with a bright
sun shining on one side.
- A
cloud and
sun are visible on the right side of the Earth.
- A
crescent moon and a
cloud are on the left side, which is dark.
Explanation:
- The side of Earth facing the
Sun experiences
daytime because sunlight reaches that area.
- The side of Earth facing away from the Sun experiences
nighttime because it is in darkness.
✔ So:
-
Right side (with the sun) →
Daytime
-
Left side (with the moon) →
Nighttime
> 🟩
Answer:

right half of the Earth as
Daytime.
