    Earths Rotation and Revolution Quiz

    Uploaded by

    Jordan Heller
    Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night, taking approximately 24 hours. Earth revolves around the sun, completing one revolution in approximately one year. Eclipses occur due to the relative positions of Earth, the sun and the moon. Earth experiences seasons because its axis is tilted as it revolves around the sun, leading to changes in the number of direct and indirect sunlight rays received in each hemisphere throughout the year. The rotation of Earth refers to its spinning on its axis, while its revolution means its orbit around the sun. Shadows move during the day as the sun appears to move across the sky due to Earth's rotation.
