What are the two motions of the Earth? Describe them.
Answers
Answer:
The motion of the Earth around the Sun is called a revolution. It revolves around the sun at a distance of 150000000km (app.) in a nearly circular orbit. It takes 365.25 days to complete one revolution around the Sun. Earth spins about its own imaginary axis like a top, from west to east. This motion of the Earth about its own axis is called rotation. Earth completes one rotation about its own axis in 24 hours. Days and nights are formed due to the rotation of Earth about its own axis, in 24 hours. Seasons are caused due to the revolution of Earth around the Sun and the tilting of its axis of rotation.
Answer:
As you know that the earth has two types of motions, namely rotation and revolution. Rotation is the movement of the earth on its axis. The movement of the earth around the sun in a fixed path or orbit is called Revolution. The axis of the earth which is an imaginary line, makes an angle of 66½° with its orbital plane.
