Prepared by:

What is the difference
between revolution and
rotation?
If the Earth is not
revolving the sun, how do
you imagine the world to
be?
Activity:
a. Observe the picture below.

b. Explain the revolution of the earth

around the sun?
ABSTRACTION:
*The earth revolves around the sun even it
rotates on its axis.
Earth's rotation is the rotation of the
planet Earth around its
own axis. The Earth
rotates from the west
towards east. As viewed
from North Star or
polestar Polaris, the 
Earth turns counter-
clockwise. One complete rotation takes 24 hours.
 Earth's revolution is
the revolution or
movement of the planet 
Earth around the sun.
-One complete revolution takes 365
¼ days. Because, the earth is tilted on its axis,
one pole is
pointed more towards
the sun. The earth’s
rotation deflects winds
to the east and west to produce belts.
The wind blows
counterclockwise in the
northern hemisphere
and clockwise in the
southern hemisphere.
