The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning of the earth. At the equator day and night are sometimes the same lengths. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

Millions of people have lost their money. Thousands of workers have lost their jobs. The financial crisis that began in 2007 has taken a turn for the worse.
Experts say the crisis was caused by banks lending too much money. With rising oil prices and falling house prices, many people and companies who borrowed money have found themselves unable to pay it back. This has left the banks out of pocket.
However, the financial storm in the US is now affecting the rest of the world. Experts say that all other countries will suffer as a result of the weakness of the US economy.
If so, China will be one of the first countries to hurt. Only Japan has lent more than China to the US. Moreover, the US is the second largest buyer of Chinese goods. China will suffer a great loss if Americans have less money in pockets to spend on Chinese goods.
