This hard Kindergarten worksheet uses reading clues to deepen understanding of day and night cycles. Kindergarten students answer four multiple choice questions about Earth's spin, why stars hide during day, the 24 hour day length, and sunrise. Five fill in blank questions cover the sun as a star, seasonal star changes, the moon reflecting light, opposite sides of Earth, and Earth spinning.
