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.
An observer in space will see that Earth requires 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds to make one complete rotation on its axis. But because Earth moves around the Sun at the same time that it is rotating, the planet must turn just a little bit more to reach the same place relative to the Sun.
Quarter 4 Week 4 (Science 6) - Free download as Powerpoint Presentation (.ppt / .pptx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or view presentation slides online. The document discusses the motions of the Earth - rotation and revolution - and their effects.
Topic 4 Motions of Earth, Moon, and Sun. Overview: without streetlights to dim and hide the moon and planets, most cultures of the past made calculations that predicted their motions. The moon especially became a major tool for timekeeping.

Earth’s Motions. What evidence do we have to provide evidence of Earth’s motions and how do calculate its elliptical orbit? Rotation - the movement of an object in a circular motion around a line of axis. Period of Rotation - amount of time to make one complete rotation. Example: Earth rotates 360o in 24 hours. Earth’s Rotation.
