  • Understanding Rotation: Definition and Examples
    An object spinning on its axis is called rotating.

    It's important to distinguish between rotation and revolution:

    * Rotation is the spinning of an object around its own axis. For example, the Earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night.

    * Revolution is the movement of one object around another object. For example, the Earth revolves around the Sun, causing the seasons.
