Revolution and Rotation The solar system is formed by the sun, Earth, and seven other planets. Earth revolves around the sun at about 67,000 miles per hour. It makes one revolution per year. At the same time, Earth rotates on its axis, an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole.

Revolution and Rotation (cont.) Earth tilts at an angle of about 23.5 degrees. This tilt causes the Northern Hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight for half the year (warmer temperatures). The Southern Hemisphere receives less direct sunlight during half the year (colder temperatures). This process creates the 4 seasons in both hemispheres
