Compare period of rotation with period of revolution?
An object rotates on it's axis (Spins) - DayAn object revolves around another object (Orbit) - YearSo for the Earth. A day is the time it takes the Earth to rotate once in it's axis - a day,whereas it takes a year to revolve around the Sun.Rotation would just be an object spinning on its own, whereas revolution means thatan object is going around another object.-- The Basketball rotates rapidly on the end of the player's finger when he's showing off.-- The roulette ball revolves around the center of the roulette wheel.

How much higher is the sun at noon compared to midnight at latitude 80 degrees north - on days where the sun never sets?
First, we need the "transit altitude" of the celestial equator, at 80 degrees north. That's 90 - 80 degrees = 10 degrees. At noon (local apparent noon) the Sun's altitude will be: 10 degrees + the Sun's declination. That's the altitude of the Sun's "upper culmination". At "midnight" (the Sun's "lower culmination") the Sun's altitude will be: the Sun's declination - 10 degrees. So, the difference in altitude is 20 degrees. The Sun is 20 degrees higher at noon.
What is the rotation for earth?
(Viewed from a fixed position on earth) Starting from high noon say, 360 degrees of revolution (sidereal day) takes 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds, but in the meanwhile the earth has travelled around its orbit around the sun, and needs to rotate a little further to bring it back to high noon, this brings the high noon to high noon time to exactly 24 hours.
