Pinja investigates celestial mechanics

Pinja is at that why why why stage. It's a very cool thing. This is an exchange from last night:

"Why is it nighttime?"
"Because the sun went down"
"Why the sun went down?"
"Because the earth spins"
"What's the earth"
"It's all around us, what we stand on. It's a big ball."
"Like this?" (holds a clenched fist out)
"Yes a bit like that. It spins round once a day."
"Like a steering wheel"
"Um, yes... something like that...."

I wonder how much she really understands...
