Answer 2

hello mate..

Rotation and revolution are terms often erroneously used interchangeably because they mean the same thing in a literal and literary sense. However in geography and astronomy the two terms have entirely different meanings and connotations. From a practical point of view the implications of the two phenomena are enormous. Getting a fix on the earth’s various time zones, the study of tides and seismic activity: all of these are interlined with the earth’s rotation. The climatic seasons on the other hand depend entirely on revolution and this helps us anticipate and prepare for the changes.

Rotation of the earth describes the spinning of the earth around its axis, resulting in the 24 hour phenomenon of day and night over the earth. Revolution on the other hand describes the movement of the earth around the sun over a period of one year, causing seasons to occur.

Rotation of the earth causes difference in time over countries and continents. The parts of the earth that are in front of the sun experience day, while the part of the earth away from the sun has night. During the course of revolution depending upon which hemisphere of the earth is closer to the sun, and which one is farther, we have summer and winter respectively. When both the hemispheres are equidistant from the sun there is spring or autumn or fall.

hope it helps you
