the orbit around the sun takes a long time. The sun's rise-fall happens every day.

So it is D?
Answered by Steve
NO - Try B

The earth spins around completely every day, making the sun (in the sky) appear to go around from east to west! Geez.

Sorry! Gosh you don't have to be that mean.
Answered by Steve
Sorry. I just get annoyed when I see someone just guessing, with no apparent thought involved. Of all the possible answers, D is the most absurd, since the sun does <u>not</u> orbit the earth.
