Using your model, create the following scenarios. i. Night time, the Americas. <-- what would this look like? this is the type of model i'm using

A night in America should be represented with the moon on the side of America and the sun on the opposite side.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Therefore, to represent the night in America, in your model, you must identify the American continent in the part of your model that represents the planet Earth. Next, you must position the moon facing America and position the sun on the opposite side.

I night time, the Sun will be on the opposite side of the planet that is in the night time, and the Mon will be in different positions (depending on the hour)  in the same side that the place that is in the night time.

Then in the model, if you left the Earth unchanged, you need to place the Sun bellow the Earth (So America is in the opposite side) And the moon above the Earth (So in America a person can see the moon)

it is called kinetic energy
