We experience day and night because the Earth spins around each day. The Earth's rotation makes it look like the Sun and stars move across the sky.

The Earth is a globe so our view of the sky varies from place to place. And because the Earth is tilted on its axis as it orbits the Sun, you get a different view at different times of year.

Why not watch our whole sky movies to compare views. They help you see how things change for different months of the year, and different locations around the world. Just choose a movie from the table.
