Morelia,

La razon porque nosotros tenemos dias y noches no tiene relacion con la luna. El planeta no hace vueltas al redor de la luna. La rotacion hace vueltas al redor del planeta mismo. La partes que tienen luz solar tienen dia hasta que la rotacion del planeta ponga esta parte sin luz y por consequencia noche!

What information does a physical feature map tell a geographet???
