Question
- 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.
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).
