![]() "Dave" wrote in message ... "Sally" wrote in message ... I was chatting to a trainee teacher who had been tasked to give a lesson on an astronomical topic. It's good to know they have to learn a bit of astronomy. Many years ago, my brother's physics teacher taught hime that sunsets would be blue if the Earth rotated in the opposite sense. DaveL *laughs* When I was a sprog, I asked a teacher whilst in infant school "What keeps us on the Earth?". "The Earth's spinning motion holds us to it." replies teacher. Of course, mass and gravity are concepts that the teacher seemed to feel were beyond us at that time. ;o) "Wouldn't that fling us off though?" I got glared at, then was asked to write the 12 times table on the board. Cheers, Subz |
