  Motions of theEarth THE EARTH HAS TWO TYPES OF MOTION ROTATION REVOLUTION
• 3.
  ROTATION Earth rotates on its axis as it revolves around the Sun . REVOLUATION Motions of the Earth
• 4.
  Rotation of theEarth The motion of the earth about its axis is known as rotation.
• 5.
  The direction ofthis movement varies with the viewer’s position. From the North Pole the rotation appears to move in a counter-clockwise fashion. Looking down at the South Pole the Earth’s rotation appears clockwise. Rotation of the Earth

  The Earth rotatesonce in twenty-four hours. The Earth’s rotation is responsible for the daily cycles of day and night. At any one moment in time, one half of the Earth is in sunlight, while the other half is in darkness. When the earth rotates we get day and night. The edge dividing the daylight from night is called the circle of illumination. Rotation of the Earth

  Rotation dictates thelength of the diurnal cycle (i.e., the day/night cycle) The earth rotates on an axis that is tipped over at about 23.5 degrees. Earth rotates at approximately 15 angular degrees per hour. So, the Earth's surface moves at the equator at a speed of about 467 m per second or slightly over 1675 km per hour. Rotation of the Earth

  The earth revolvesaround the sun in an elliptical orbit. Revolution of the Earth
• 9.
  It takes 365days and 6 hours to complete one revolution. The distance between the earth and the sun changes due to revolution. This change of distance also causes change in seasons. Revolution of the Earth

  The earth revolvesin an elliptical shape. As the Earth revolves it gets closer and farther away from the sun. The angle that the sun hits the Earth causes the seasons. Revolution of the Earth
