Question

state four (4) differences between rotation and revolution of the earth.

Answer 1

Answer:

ROTATION OF EARTH :

• The rotation of the earth is its rotation around its own axis.
• Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23.5 degrees. This inclination causes the different seasons.
• The earth takes 24 hours to complete one revolution in relation to the sun.

REVOLUTION OF EARTH :

• Revolution is the movement of the earth around the sun.
• It takes the earth a full year (365 days) to complete one full orbit around the sun.
• The path of the earth as it moves around the sun is called the orbit. The orbit of the earth is elliptical.

Answer 2

Answer:

        Differences between rotation and revolution of the earth:

• An object rotates when it moves in a circular motion, either clockwise or counterclockwise, around a center of rotation. An infinite number of rotation axes are possible for three-dimensional objects.

• The Earth turns on its axis, which is referred to as rotation, and the rotation of the Earth around the Sun is referred to as revolution.

• 24 hours  is needed for rotation and the duration of a revolution is 365 days, 6 hours.

• It moves 107,800 kilometers (67,000 miles) every hour around the sun.

• The rotation of the Earth around the Sun is known as revolution.
