MOTIONS OF THE EARTH. As you know that the earth has two types of motions, namely rotation and revolution. Rotation is the movement of the earth on its axis. The movement of the earth around the sun in a fixed path or orbit is called Revolution.
Imagine a line passing through the center of Earth that goes through both the North Pole and the South Pole. This imaginary line is called an axis. Earth spins around its axis, just as a top spins around its spindle. This spinning movement is called Earth’s rotation.
One cannot consider solar energy without becoming aware of the earth's motion, both its rotational motion about its own axis, and its orbital motion about the sun. These two modes of motion give rise to day and night, the number of hours of daylight, the angle of the sun in the sky, and the seasons.
