When you are ready, click here to see the next movie.
You can see the movement of the sky as before, but this time there is an animation of the Earth spinning on its axis. Can you see the girl standing on the United Kingdom? The sky view in the window below the Earth animation is the one she sees through her own eyes.
If you are not sure, discuss what you are seeing with a friend or your teacher and try to work it out together.
