I. CONCEPT NOTES
Like the other planets, Earth moves mainly in two ways: it spins on its axis and it goes around the Sun.
And as the Earth revolves around the Sun, the Moon is also revolving around the Earth. The amazing thing is
we do not feel that the Earth is moving. In reality the planet is speeding around the Sun at 30 kilometers each
second.( The solar system is also moving around the center of the Milky Way.)
But even if we do not actually see the Earth is moving, we can observe the effects on their motion. For
example, because the Earth rotates, we experience day and night. As moon goes around the Earth, we see
changes in the Moon’s appearance.
The Earth is also tilted and this affects seasons on Earth. In the Philippines for example we have the
wet/rainy and dry season. You might have noticed too that there are months of the year when it is cold and
months when it is hot. The seasons follow each other regularly and you can tell in advance when it is going to
be warm or cold and when it is going to be rainy or not.
