"Its" is possessive, as in, The dog chased its tail.
"It's" with an apostophe is the contraction for "it is." As in Eeek! It's almost 4a.m.!"

its refers to something an object owns. For example The Chair-its leg. It's is a contraction for it is. A good example is "It's a hot day out today."

It's is a contraction it means: It is
Its shows possession. There is the dog, that's its bowl.
I think that's right.

The first (its) is a possesive pronoun. The second (it's) is a contraction of "it is".

"it's" is the short form of "it is", for example it's my cat,
however "its" is a word has the similar form and usage with "my", "his" , "her", i can say :my name is zoe , as to its, i can say: it's a cat, its name is kitty.
that's it!!!!!

It's translates to "it is." If in a sentence, you're not trying to say "it is", then you would use "its."
