earths rotation and revolution?

Question

1. describe and compare earths rotation and revolution

2. what enables us to see different stars and constellation during different seasons?

Answer 1

Earth rotates around a line axis once in 24 hours
Earth revolves around in a plane once in 365 1/4 days
Sun is the center of revolution
Make a drawing of the sun and the earth.
The Earth is sometimes on the left, right, far back and near
When the Earth is on the left of the of the sun,
The right side of the Earth is lighted and it is a daylight.
The left side of the Earth is dark and it is night time.
We can see the stars only on the dark side of the earth
this is on left side of the earth
with specific group of stars for each month.
When the Earth is on the right side of the sun,
The right side of the Earth is dark and it is night time
The left side of the Earth is facing the sun it is day time
The right side of the earth is dark
on the right side we can see specific stars
Every specific month of the year opposite the side of the sun
We can see on the dark sky group of stars.
For every month we are facing another group of stars.
Since Earth revolves around the sun once a year in 360 deg
dividing this into 12 months . Every month the earth rotates
about 15 degrees of new view of group of stars in the sky

Answer 2

Rotation- refers to movements of earth from its axis, just like a top.
Revolution - Refers to movements of earth from the sun, it's like you circling around a certain person or post.

We see different stars and constellation during different season beacause the earth revolves, as the earth revolves theres is a certain position in which this certain constellation can only be seen. I hope i explained it correctly ^_^

Answer 3

Rotation is the motion of the Earth as it spins on its axis. Revolution is the motion of the Earth as it circles the sun. The reason we see different stars and constellations is the circuit of the Earth around the sun.

Answer 4

Rotation on axis - 24 hours Revolution around the sun - 365.24 days we see different constellations because the earth is in different places as we revolve around the sun.

Answer 5

Hi. Earth ROTATES on it's axis, and REVOLVES around the Sun. Actually all stars are up in the sky everyday. Just harder to see with the daylight. (Not impossible, just harder.)

Answer 6

1)Earth rotates fast and revoles slowly.
2)Our eyes.
