Question

How can the Earth’s movement be explained? A Earth moves one revolution and then moves one rotation around the Sun. B Earth spins on its axis, and it orbits around the Sun at the same time. C Earth cannot spin on its axis and orbit around the Sun at the same time. D Earth stops every one fourth of a year to shift its axis towards the Sun

Answer 1

Answer:

This movement is called a revolution, which is different from rotation. Objects rotate around an axis, but revolve around other objects. So the Earth rotates around its axis as it revolves around the sun. It takes the Earth 365 days, or one year, to complete a revolution..
