" It's " with the apostrophe is a contraction that should be used only in place of "It is" Ex. It's snowing outside. "Its" with no apostrophe is a possessive pronoun, meaning "belonging to it" Ex. The car lost its right wheel in the collision.

An apostrophe is used in "it's" when it is a contraction for "it is" or "it has." If you are showing possession, such as "The dog chewed on its bone," you do not need an apostrophe.
