The Sun And Moon – Day And Night.
A man by the name Mundilfari from Midgard had two children, so shiny and beautiful that he decided to call his son Mani, and his daughter Sol. The gods were furious by this arrogance, and took both of them and put them up in the sky. Sol (Sun) is pulled over the sky by two horses Arvakr (meaning very strong) and Alsvin (meaning very quick). A Svalin (Shield), in Sol’s chariot protected Sol from the sun. Mani is pulled by one horse Aldsvider, Mani stole two children from Midgard, to help him drive his chariot, their names are Bil and Yuki. A Jotun had a daughter named Nat (Night). The daughter Nat had a son Dag (Day). Nat and Dag got a horse and a chariot, and was put in the sky, to drive night and day around the earth. Nat is pulled by her horse Hrimfaxi. And behind her is Dag, pulled by his horse Skinfaxi. They are pursued by two other children from a Jotun (they are wolves), Sköll (meaning treachery) and Hati Hróðvitnisson (first name meaning he who hates, last name meaning enemy). Each month, it is said, Hati takes a bite out of the Moon and tries to gobble it up. But the Moon gets away and grows whole again. These two wolves will catch the sun and the moon at Ragnarök.
