Luis created a clay model of Earth. He used a toothpick to represent Earth's axis. The toothpick was stuck vertically through the center of the Earth model. He then used a flashlight to shine light on part of the Earth. Finally, he used the toothpick to spin the model Earth. What do you think Luis is trying to model? Select one: Earth's day and night Earth's speed Earth's seasons Earth's revolution

Answer 1

Earth's day and night.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Luis has stuck a toothpick vertically through the center of the Earth model and then used a flashlight to shine light on part of the earth while spinning the model Earth, he is most likely trying to model Earth's day and night.

Earth's day and night occurs because of its rotational phenomenon. As it rotates around its axis, the part facing the Sun is the daytime while the part of Earth that does not face the Sun is the nighttime.
