Presentation transcript:

1. Rotation-spinning of earth on it’s axis (imaginary line going through the center of the earth) 2. Revolution-movement of the earth (or any other celestial object) around the sun (or any other celestial object)

 Day and night  Coriolis Effect – deflection of the winds/ocean currents to the right in the northern hemisphere due to Earth’s rotation(geocentric model cannot explain)  Foucault Pendulum-freely swinging pendulum that changes direction with the rotation of the earth every hour. (geocentric model cannot explain)

Models of the Solar System  Geocentric Model: Earth at the center ◦ Proposed by Ptolemy (ancient Greek) ◦ Doesn’t explain coriolis effect or any other effect due to earth’s rotation  Heliocentric Model: Sun at the center ◦ Proposed by Copernicus and later improved by Keppler ◦ Orbits are not circular but elliptical
