Rotation is a circular movement of an object around an axis. If the axis passes through the objects center of mass then the object will rotate upon its self, also known as spinning. For earth, it takes 23 hours and 56 minutes to complete one rotation. Earths rotation causes us to have day and night. If Earth suddenly stopped rotation then everything would be swept away into the atmosphere. ]]> 2020-09-15 16:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/riley_mitchell819/5rw8dalxs7w8i3kz/wish/748605554 riley_mitchell819 https://padlet.com/riley_mitchell819/5rw8dalxs7w8i3kz/wish/748655188 What is revolution? Revolution is the movement of the Earth around the Sun. It takes the Earth about 365 days to complete one revolution, or one year. An effect of Earth's revolution is seasons. Earth's axis has a slight tilt, so when the Earth Orbits around the Sun it causes us to have Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.]]> 2020-09-15 16:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/riley_mitchell819/5rw8dalxs7w8i3kz/wish/748655188 riley_mitchell819 https://padlet.com/riley_mitchell819/5rw8dalxs7w8i3kz/wish/749019593 In the video I said once a month, but I meant to say once every 24 hours]]> 2020-09-15 17:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/riley_mitchell819/5rw8dalxs7w8i3kz/wish/749019593 riley_mitchell819 https://padlet.com/riley_mitchell819/5rw8dalxs7w8i3kz/wish/762835022 1: scroll down to the sections "Earths Rotation," and "Revolution of the Earth"
