Explanation:
<em><u>ROTATION.</u></em>
The Earth's movement through space affects life on Earth. We experience day and night because of this movement on the Earth's axis known as rotation. It takes the Earth 24 hours to rotate one time in which we experience day and night. The Earth's axis is an invisible line that intersects the Earth through both the North and South Poles.
<em><u>REVOLUTION.</u></em>
The Earth moves along a path around the Sun. This path is known as an orbit. One complete trip on this path around the sun is known as a revolution. It takes the Earth 365 1/4 days to complete it's journey around the Sun.
Every 4 years, we take the extra 1/4 days from the previous years, combine them and add an extra day to the calendar called leap year i.e 29th of February.
In conclusion, the counterclockwise rotation of planet earth around its own axis is defined as Earth Rotation. The earth rotates about the line called "the axis of rotation," an imaginary line that passes through the North and South Poles of the planet, which the earth rotates about. Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, from West to East.
The earth rotation and revolution gives rise to the following phenomenon;
a. Day and night.
b. Seasons such as summer, winter, autumn, etc.
c. Creation of heat zones and ocean currents.
