Describe how the Earth's rotation causes day and night
Describe how the Earth's rotation causes day and night
Due to the Earth's rotation( the Earth spinning), we have day and night. The side of Earth that is facing the Sun has day time and the side of the Earth that is facing away from the sun has nighti time.
Describe how the Earth's revolution causes the seasons
Describe how the Earth's revolution causes the seasons
Due the the Earth's revolution( orbiting the Sun) we have the seasons. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, we have winter. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, we have summer.
