The Earth spins or rotates
The Earth spins or rotates about an imaginary line that passes through the North and South Poles of the planet. This line is called the axis of rotation
It takes the Earth 23 hours and 56 minutes to complete one compete for rotation.
We round this to 24 hours which we call 1 day
The Earth rotates from west to east which counterclockwise. As the Earth rotates, different locations on Earth pass through the sun's light.
As a result, the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west
As the Earth rotates the side of the Earth-facing the sun experiences day time and the side facing away from the sun experiences night time.
So the earth’s rotation is responsible for us experiencing day and night
The Earth’s revolution is the period of time it takes the Earth to go around the sun.
It takes two objects in order for a revolution to occur
The Earth revolves around the sun
It takes the earth 364 .25 days to revolve around the sun
We round this to 365 days 12 months or 1 year
The Earth travels in a counterclockwise direction
