Exploring Earth's Motion: Rotation and Revolution

The video tutorial on Stunning Suganesh covers the motions of the Earth, focusing on rotation and revolution. Rotation is the Earth's spinning on its axis, causing day and night, while revolution is its orbit around the sun, leading to seasonal changes. The video explains the concept of a leap year, which accounts for the extra six hours in Earth's annual revolution. It also describes the four seasons and their relation to Earth's position around the sun. The tutorial concludes with a preview of future topics like solstices and equinoxes.
