  • Earth's Rotation and Revolution: Understanding Earth's Movements
    Earth's two principal motions are:

    1. Rotation: This is the spinning of Earth on its axis. It takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full rotation, which is why we experience day and night.

    2. Revolution: This is the movement of Earth in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. It takes approximately 365.25 days to complete one full revolution, which is why we have a year.
