The earth rotates on its axis giving us day and night, it takes 24 hours for it to

complete a full rotation. While rotating on its axis, the earth revolves around the

sun giving us the seasons, this takes 3651/4 days for a complete revolution.

When the Northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and the Southern

Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere

and winter in the southern one.

What are two major motions of earth as it travels through space?

The two major motions of Earth as it travels through space are rotation, which is its spinning on its axis causing day and night, and revolution, which is its orbit around the Sun causing the changing of seasons.


Who discovered the rotation and revolution?

The rotation and revolution of the Earth were not "discovered" by a single individual. The concepts have been understood for centuries through observations by astronomers and scientists. Rotation refers to the Earth's spinning on its axis, causing day and night, while revolution refers to the Earth's orbit around the sun, which takes about one year to complete.

What effect does the earth revolution have?

The revolution around its axis (the one that goes through the North and south poles) causes day and night. The revolution around the Sun in its orbit (coupled to the fact that the axis of rotation is tilted 23.4°) causes seasons (winter,summer,spring,fall)


What is a rotation of symmetry?

Sometimes called rotation symmetry, or symmetry of rotation. If you have an object that can be turned through a certain angle (like rotating a cube through 90o) and then it looks identical, then that object has a certain symmetry under rotation. If you can turn it through any angle, like a cylinder, then it has rotation (or rotational) symmetry.


What a example of rotation?

A rotation turns a shape through an angle at a fixed point as for example if you turn around backwards that will be a rotation of 180 degrees.


What is the math term for a rotation?

A rotation turns a shape through an angle at a fixed point and it is called a transformation.


What happens because of a planet's revolution?

In astronomical terms, revolution refers to a revolving around an axis outside the object, in this case the solar orbit of a planet - the completion of one period of which is called the planet's year. (Mostly because of axial tilt this also brings about the seasons.) By contrast, the rotation about an axis going through the object (spin) brings about the planet's day.
