Explanation:

First, place the basketball (representing the Sun) on the table. Then tilt the tennis ball (representing the Earth) on its axis as the Earth has an axial tilt. Next, rotate the tennis ball counter - clockwise (as the Earth rotates counter - clockwise when viewed from above the North Pole). And finally, orbit the tennis ball around the basketball (to show the Earth's orbit around the Sun). The side of the tennis ball facing the basketball represents daytime (as it is illuminated like the side of the Earth facing the Sun during the day), and the side facing away represents nighttime (as it is in shadow like the side of the Earth not facing the Sun at night).
