Transcript of Megan's after views – day/night

Megan's talks to the teacher about her "after" views.

Megan: The earth... the earth spins around on its own axis and while it's doing that it spins round this way and that way.
Teacher: OK. Can you show me then which part of earth is day and which is night?
Megan: Um, that's day, that's night.
Teacher: OK. Why is that night in the back?
Megan: Because it's dark and this is sunny. The sun's on that side.
