Rotation and Revolution:
  • rotation
  • revolution
Know whether it is rotation or revolution for the following:
  • completed in 24 hours
  • completed in a year
  • The earth orbits around the sun
  • The earth spins on its axis
  • The seasons change as the earth orbits around the sun
  • The sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west
  • When one side of the earth is having daytime, the other side is having nighttime
  • As the earth orbits, the part of the earth tilted away from the sun is having fall and winter
  • Each season lasts about 3 months
  • The sun appears higher in the sky during the summer because we are tilted closer to the sun.
