    1) The earth's axis is tilted at an angle of 66 degrees from its orbital plane. This tilt causes the seasons on Earth. 2) Rotation is the movement of the earth on its axis, while revolution is the movement of the earth around the sun in a fixed orbit. 3) A leap year has 366 days instead of 365 to keep the calendar aligned with the seasons. It occurs every 4 years. The document discusses the tilt of the Earth's axis and how it leads to variations in daylight hours and seasons between the northern and southern hemispheres throughout the year. It also defines and distinguishes between rotation and revolution of the Earth.
