Earth’s Axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from vertical
Vertical Axis-Like the skater
Horizontal Axis – like the log
Rotational Axis – like the Earth

What do you observeabout the angle of the tilt?
They are all the same

Earth's rotational axis points in the same direction relative to the stars, so that the
North Pole points towards the star Polaris or North Star
This constant allows sailors tonavigate at night

The Earth ContinuouslyRotates on its Axis causing
Day and Night

The Earth
Rotates around once in 24 hours
Time to rotate completely around once is called a day
![Page 7: Rotation Spin or Turn on an Axis. Earth’s Axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from vertical Vertical Axis- Like the skater Horizontal Axis – like the log Rotational](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5697bf951a28abf838c90817/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Earth Continuously Orbits
the Sun or Revolves
The time it takes for the Earth to go completely around the Sun is
called a year.
![Page 8: Rotation Spin or Turn on an Axis. Earth’s Axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from vertical Vertical Axis- Like the skater Horizontal Axis – like the log Rotational](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5697bf951a28abf838c90817/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Like all planets in our solar system, the Earth is in an elliptical orbit around our Sun. In Earth's case, its
orbit is nearly circular, so that the difference between Earth's farthest point from the Sun and its closest point is very small.
![Page 9: Rotation Spin or Turn on an Axis. Earth’s Axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from vertical Vertical Axis- Like the skater Horizontal Axis – like the log Rotational](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5697bf951a28abf838c90817/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It takes 365.25 rotations for the Earth to go around the Sun once.
![Page 10: Rotation Spin or Turn on an Axis. Earth’s Axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from vertical Vertical Axis- Like the skater Horizontal Axis – like the log Rotational](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5697bf951a28abf838c90817/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Each 4 years, one day is added tothe month of February to make up
for the 0.25 (1/4) rotation ineach revolution around the sun.
February 29
This is called Leap Year
![Page 11: Rotation Spin or Turn on an Axis. Earth’s Axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from vertical Vertical Axis- Like the skater Horizontal Axis – like the log Rotational](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5697bf951a28abf838c90817/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
If you are born on February 29, whendo you have a birthday?

The Earth moves in definitepattern around the Sun
![Page 13: Rotation Spin or Turn on an Axis. Earth’s Axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from vertical Vertical Axis- Like the skater Horizontal Axis – like the log Rotational](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5697bf951a28abf838c90817/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The tilt of Earth’s rotational axisand the Earth’s orbit work together
to create the seasons.
![Page 14: Rotation Spin or Turn on an Axis. Earth’s Axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from vertical Vertical Axis- Like the skater Horizontal Axis – like the log Rotational](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5697bf951a28abf838c90817/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
When the northern hemisphere istilted towards the sun, the
southern hemisphere is tilted away.
This is why the hemispheres have opposite seasons.
![Page 15: Rotation Spin or Turn on an Axis. Earth’s Axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from vertical Vertical Axis- Like the skater Horizontal Axis – like the log Rotational](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5697bf951a28abf838c90817/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sometimes the Earth’s axis is pointing toward the Sun and
other times the Earth’s axis is pointingaway from the sun.
![Page 16: Rotation Spin or Turn on an Axis. Earth’s Axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from vertical Vertical Axis- Like the skater Horizontal Axis – like the log Rotational](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5697bf951a28abf838c90817/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Halfway in between the solstices,the Earth is neither tilted directly
towards nor directly away from the sun
These points are called equinoxes.Both hemispheres receive about
equal amounts of sunlight.
![Page 17: Rotation Spin or Turn on an Axis. Earth’s Axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from vertical Vertical Axis- Like the skater Horizontal Axis – like the log Rotational](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5697bf951a28abf838c90817/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Equinoxes mark the seasonsautumn (fall)
andspring
and are a transition between summer and winter
