What does Earth's rotation cause?

1. a year

2. the seasons

3. day and night

4. eclipses

• 1. a year

• 1. the seasons

• 1. day and night

• 1. eclipses

Why doesn't Earth's orbit cause seasonal temperature changes on Earth?

• 1. Even though Earth's orbit is an ellipse, the change in distance from the Sun is only an optical illusion.

• 1. The change in distance occurs at the same time as the seasons, so we don't notice the change.

• 1. The change in distance is minimal. Earth's tilted axis is the real cause of seasons on Earth.

• 1. The change in distance is the real cause of seasons on Earth.

What is the difference between Earth's rotation and revolution?

1. Revolution refers to Earth's spinning on its axis, and rotation refers to Earth's spinning around the Sun.

• 1. Revolution refers to Earth's spinning on its axis, and rotation refers to Earth's spinning around the Sun.

• 1. Rotation refers to Earth's spinning on its equator, and revolution refers to Earth's spinning around the solar system.

• 1. Revolution refers to Earth's spinning on its axis, and rotation refers to Earth's changing seasons.

• 1. Rotation refers to Earth's spinning on its axis, and revolution refers to Earth's spinning around the Sun.
