    The Earth rotates on its axis over the course of 24 hours, which causes day and night. It also revolves around the Sun, taking 365 days to complete one orbit or year. While the Earth moves, the Sun remains stationary at the center, despite references to sunrise and sunset. The Earth's rotation and revolution around the Sun influence the seasons due to varying exposure to sunlight throughout the year.

    Rotate
    • The Earth rotates, or spins, on its
    axis.
    • The axis is an imaginary line that
    goes through its center.
    • It takes 24 hours to complete one
    rotation.
    • 24 hours = 1 day
    • The side of the Earth facing the Sun
    has day.
    • The side facing away from the Sun
    has night

    Does the Sun move?
    • What do you think?
    • No the Sun does not move. The
    Earth moves around the Sun.
    • We use sunrise and sunset because
    we didn’t know that the Sun does
    not move

    Revolve
    • The Earth also revolve, or goes
    around, the Sun.
    • Another word for it is orbit
    • It takes just over 365 days for the
    Earth to orbit around the Sun.
    • The exact time is 365 and a quarter
    day.
    • 365 days = 1 year
    • The Earths orbit causes the seasons
    • Winter = less sunlight
    • Summer = more sunlight
