Worms don't have eyes, so they feel their way around. They move so slowly, though, that they don't hurt themselves when they bump into things. At the surface, worms use light sensitive organs on their heads and tails to detect bright, harsh sunlight that might dry them out. When they sense the harsh sunlight, they go back underground.
