Question

  1. what is the difference between one revolution around the sun and one rotation on earths axis?

one rotation around the sun represents a month on earth, and one revolution on earths axis represents a day on earth.
one revolution around the sun represents a month on earth, and one rotation on earths axis represents a week on earth
one revolution represents a year on earth, and one rotation around the axis represents a day on earth.
one rotation represents a year on earth, and one revolution around the axis represents a day on earth.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Revolution: When Earth makes one full orbit (revolution) around the Sun, it takes approximately 365.25 days, which is defined as a year.
  • Rotation: When Earth spins (rotates) once around its own axis, it takes about 24 hours, which is a day.
  • Option A is wrong because rotation is about spinning on its axis (not around the Sun) and revolution around the Sun is a year (not a month).
  • Option B is incorrect as revolution around the Sun is a year (not a month) and rotation on the axis is a day (not a week).
  • Option D has the terms "rotation" and "revolution" mis - applied in terms of what they represent (year and day).

Answer:

C. One revolution represents a year on Earth, and one rotation around the axis represents a day on Earth.
