Rotation and Revolution

-Earth spinning on its axis

-takes 24 hours/1 day

-gives us our day and night cycle

-causes shadows

-makes the Sun look like it's moving (apparent movement of the Sun)

-the Sun appears to move in the sky

-Earth is really the one who is moving

-the Sun looks like it is moving from east (rise) to west (set)

-the Earth rotates or spins from west to east

- Earth revolves around the Sun, this is it's orbit

-it takes Earth 365 days to complete one revolution around the Sun

-the Earth's revolution + the Earth's tilt = Seasons

-when the Earth is tilted toward the Sun it is summer

-when the Earth is tilted away from the Sun it is winter
