- [1] Gece ile gündüz, güneş ve ay gibi kendi yörüngesinde dönen ayrı varlıklardır ([Yasin 36/40](https://quran.so/36/40)). Dünyanın Güneş ile yaptığı açının daima değişmesi gece ile gündüzün uzayıp kısalmasına sebep olur. Gece gündüzün içine girince gece kısalır, gündüz uzar. Gündüz gecenin içine girince de gece uzar, gündüz kısalır. Uzaydan çekilen fotoğrafları inceleyenler gece ile gündüzün, daima var olduğunu görebilirler ([Al-i İmran 3/27](https://quran.so/3/27), [Lokman 31/29,](https://quran.so/31/29) [Fatır 35/13,](https://quran.so/35/13) [Hadid 57/6](https://quran.so/57/6)).
