Stellar Adventure!

Do you have a calendar at your house or at school? I use calendars all the time to help me keep track of things I need to do and places I need to be. Today I’ve been wondering… Where do day and night come from? How do we know when it’s been a year and it’s time to get a new calendar? Would you think I’m crazy if I said the answers to those questions can be found in outer space?
