1 ROTATION & REVOLUTION LO: I will distinguish between revolution and rotation; I will 
describe how the Earth's rotation results in day and night. Rotation: the amount of time it takes a planet to spin around on 
its axis one time Axis: an imaginary line running through the center of the planet Revolution: the amount of time it takes a planet to orbit around 
the Sun

2 Revolution Rotation A revolution of Earth takes one year.
The Earth rotates once 
every 24 hours, or one day Revolution A revolution of Earth takes one 
year.
