Every year, the Earth completes one orbit of the Sun, and every year, you have a birthday! And during a year, the Earth rotates 365 times on its axis and we experience 365 sun rises and sun sets.
Did you know that our understanding of science and space had gradually been built over thousands of years? Discover the people from the past whose observations and experiments helped us understand our Solar System and the Universe.
The Earth is the planet you (and everyone else) live on! The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth. This means it travels around our planet in a huge circle called an 'orbit'. The Sun is a star in the centre of our Solar System.
It's the movements of these objects that give us days, years, and even eclipses! Test your knowledge of these astronomical timescales and events.
