# Why is it dark at night?

## Hello (0–10 seconds)
Hi! Today Pip the owl has a question, and it is a good one.
What we draw: A round owl with big eyes sitting on a branch, waving one wing.

## Big question (10–25 seconds)
Every day the sun goes away and it gets dark. Where does the sun go? Let's find out.
What we draw: Pip looking up at a sky that is half yellow and half dark blue, with a big question mark above.

## Idea one: the Earth is spinning (25 seconds–55 seconds)
We live on a giant ball called Earth. The Earth is always turning, very slowly, like a ball rolling on a table. It takes a whole day to turn all the way around.
What we draw: A big round Earth with a tiny Pip standing on top, and a curved arrow showing it turning.

## Idea two: the sun stays put (55 seconds–1:25)
The sun does not go anywhere. It stays still and shines. When our side of the Earth turns toward the sun, it is daytime. When our side turns away, it is night.
What we draw: The same Earth with a big sun on the left. One half of the Earth is bright, the other half is dark, and Pip is on the dark half looking at the moon.

## Try it (1:25–1:45)
Hold a ball in front of a lamp. Now slowly turn the ball. Watch how the bright side moves. That is what the Earth does every day.
What we draw: Pip holding a ball up to a lamp with both wings, one side of the ball bright.

## Goodbye (1:45–2:00)
So the sun does not go away. We turn away from it. Bye, Pip!
What we draw: Pip waving from the dark side of the Earth, the words "We turn!" written in big letters.
