Differences Between Earth's Rotation And Revolution

# data[].attributes.body
The differences between earth's rotation and revolution is that earth's rotation is when the earth spins around on it's own which takes 1 day (24 hours) and during those 24 hours there is day and night. Earth's revolution is when earth orbits around the sun once every year (365 days). And during the year there are seasons summer, winter spring, and fall.

Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to complete one revolution around the Sun in a slightly elliptical orbit with the Sun at one focal point of the ellipse. Ranging between the extremes of perihelion (closest approach) in January and aphelion (most distant orbital position) in July, Earth's orbital distance from the Sun ranges from approximately 91.5 to approximately 94 million miles (147–151 million km), respectively. Although these distances seem counterintuitive to residents of the Northern Hemisphere who experience summer in July and winter in January—the seasons are not nearly as greatly affected by distance as they are by changes in solar illumination caused by the fact that Earth's polar axis is inclined 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to the ecliptic (the plane of the solar system through or near which most of the planet's orbits travel) and because the Earth exhibits parallelism (currently toward Polaris, the North Star) as it revolves about the Sun.

When it is spring or fall it means that the earth is facing perfectly towards the sun.

Parts of the earth will face the sun closer which means it is summer in that area and the days will be longer. If another part of the earth is farther away from the sun it means that it is winter  in that area and the days will be shorter.

During the revolution, there will be seasons. Summer, winter, spring, and fall.

It takes 1 year (365) days for the earth to complete one full revolution around the sun.

Earth's revolution is when the earth goes around the sun one time. In other words earth orbits the sun.

Earth is always moving. Each day, the Earth makes one complete rotation on its axis. The axis is the imaginary line through the earth that extends from the North Pole to the South Pole.

As Earth rotates, it seems like the sun is moving across the sky, but it’s really the Earth that is spinning. It takes 24 hours to complete one rotation, which is why there are 24 hours in one day.

In other words, if the sun is visible in the morning starting around 6:00 AM, the Earth will spin completely around by the next morning at 6:00 AM and you will see the sun in about the same place.

Below is a short video of how earth looks like when it rotates.

Every time the earth rotates one part of the earth faces the sun which means that part will be daytime and it will be bright but the other side will be facing away from the sun which means that part will be nighttime and it will be dark.

Earth completes a full rotation every 23 hours and 56 minutes. But it has been rounded to 24 hours.

There is an imaginary line on the North Pole and the South Pole and it is called the axis.
