  • Understanding Planetary Motion: Revolution & Rotation
    The two main movements of a planet are:

    1. Revolution: This is the movement of a planet around the Sun in an elliptical orbit. This is the movement we typically think of when we imagine planets moving.

    2. Rotation: This is the spinning of a planet on its axis. This is what causes day and night on a planet.

    Let me know if you want to know more about either of these movements!
