Why is it day?

As I mentioned in another post, I have been watching the Olympics with my 5 year old son.
It's been a fun experience for me because he has so many questions about everything.

One night, after glancing out the window, he asked me when the event took place that we were watching.  I can't remember what it the event was, but it was outdoors.  I told him it was live, taking place right now while we watched.  I saw him processing everything in his head when he then asked, "Why is it day?"

What a great opportunity for me to explain why we have day and night.  I almost got out the flashlight and basketball, but I'll save that for another day.
