Proud to be part of LJMU,

Do different parts of the world experience day and night at the same time? Why do parts of the Earth have seasons? What are days and nights like at the north and south poles? 

Use the videos and quiz below to find out the answers to these questions and explore more about how our place in space affects our life on Earth!

By the end of this activity you will:

  • know why the Earth is divided into time zones
  • know why parts of the Earth experience seasons
  • have compared days and nights in different seasons, and in different parts of the world
