Rotation:Earth spinning on its axis.

Page 3: Earth’s Seasons

Revolution:Earth’s yearly trip around the sun.

Another word for revolution is orbit.

Earth revolves around the sun in an ellipse (similar to an oval).

Page 4: Earth’s Seasons

Why do we have seasons? Is it the distance from the sun that causes

them?

Page 5: Earth’s Seasons

No, it’s the tilt of Earth on its axis that causes the seasons:

Axis: the imaginary line about which a rotating body, such as the earth, turns.

Equinox

• 1st day of fall (September 22 or 23) or spring (March 20 or 21).

• Day and night are equal.

• Sun shines directly over the equator, equally on the northern and southern hemispheres.
