Rotation vs Revolution

How does the tilt of the Earth's axis affect the seasons?

• It causes the Earth to rotate faster during summer.

• It leads to varying amounts of sunlight received by different parts of the Earth throughout the year, resulting in changing seasons.

• It has no effect on the seasons at all.

• It causes the Earth to experience more earthquakes during winter.

Why do we have time zones?

What is the difference between rotation and revolution?

• Rotation refers to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, while revolution refers to the spinning of the Earth on its axis.
