Diurnal Cycle

Real World Example

Imagine trying to fall asleep but constantly tossing and turning, unable to find the perfect position. This restless cycle mirrors how the Earth rotates continuously, moving through periods of light and darkness as it spins on its axis. Just as you eventually find a comfortable position and settle into a steady rhythm of rest and wakefulness, the Earth completes its rotation every 24 hours, cycling between day and night. The tossing and turning is like the Earth's rotation, where each movement corresponds to a change in position relative to the Sun, creating the diurnal cycle of sunrise and sunset.
