    The Earth spins on its axis, creating day and night through its rotation. It also revolves around the Sun, completing one revolution in 365 days. The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees, causing different parts of the planet to receive more or less sunlight throughout the year and creating the seasons. The tilt results in a pattern where the northern and southern hemispheres alternate between leaning toward and away from the Sun over the course of a year.

    EARTH'S ROTATIONS &


    REVOLUTIONS
    Where does the sun go when it's nighttime? It
    actually doesn't go anywhere and we're the ones
    moving! We're on the Earth, and the planet is
    always spinning on its . This is an
    invisible line that passes through the centre of the
    Earth that goes through the pole and
    the pole . Earth spins around this line,
    and the spinning movement is called the Earth's
    . , which gives us day and night.

    However, the earth is moving in more ways that


    one. At the same time that the Earth spins on its
    axis, it also revolves, or around the
    sun. This movement is called Earth's .
    One full orbit all the way around the Sun is one
    revolution and the Earth takes days,
    or one year to complete a revolution.

    As the earth is rotating and revolving, it's


    not sitting straight. It's is tilted
    about 23.5°. This tilt causes one part of the
    Earth to lean towards the while
    another part is leaning away. This means
    that different parts of our Earth's surface
    gets different amounts of sunlight and heat.

    EARTH'S ROTATIONS &
    REVOLUTIONS
    As the Earth travels around the Sun, it
    creates a throughout the year.
    This pattern happens over and over again.
    At certain times of the year, the northern
    hemisphere leans towards the Sun and the
    southern hemisphere leans away. At other
    times, the southern hemisphere leans
    towards the Sun and the other hemisphere
    leans away. This pattern is what makes
    .

    When the part of the


    world that you're living in
    is leaning towards the Sun,
    it's warm and the days are
    long - it's . When
    you're on the part that's
    leaning away form the Sun,
    it's cold and the days are
    short - it's . In
    between, it's spring or
    autumn. If the earth
    weren't tilted, we would
    have the same season all
    year long!
