How It Works
Think of Earth as a big, round ball that spins around its own middle, like how a top spins when you twist it. This spinning is called rotation, and it makes the sun seem to rise in the sky and set at night.
Now imagine Earth also goes around the sun, this is called revolution. It's like going on a yearly trip around your favorite friend!
Watch The World Turn shows these movements, so you can see how Earth’s spinning and traveling make days, nights, seasons, and years happen, all in one place!
