CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

P opens: the Earth spins. R says what happens "as it spins".
T is the half facing the Sun, S is "the other half", and Q gives an example with "this is why".
So the order is PRTSQ.

Worth noting

PRSTQ gives "the other half" before the first half has been described.
