ACTIVITY 10.1
Demonstrating Rotation and Revolution
Problem:
What is the difference between the rotation and
the revolution of the earth?
What you need:
Globe
Wide area or space
Flashlight
What you need to do:
Draw a circle to serve as the orbit of earth. Let one person
in the group go to the center. He/she will represent the sun.
Let one person hold the globe and spin it evenly counter
clockwise not too fast, while he/she walks completely
around the person at the center of the circle. (As it revolves
around the sun, north end of the earth’s axis continues to
point toward a relatively stationery object. In the sky, it is
called the North Star.) The person at the center is revolving
around him/her.
Notice the part lighted by the flashlight when the earth
rotates sand revolves around the sun.
What have you found out?
Do all parts of Earth receive light as it rotate on its axis?
Why?
What is the effect of Earth’s rotation?
What have you noticed about the amount of light
received by Earth as it revolves around the sun?
What do you think are the occurences when Earth
revolves around the sun?
Conclusion:
Make a conclusion based from the given problem.
Let us answer the questions!
1. Do all parts of Earth receive light as it
rotate on its axis? Why?
No. The “fixed” tilt means that, during
our orbit around our Sun each
year, different parts of Earth receive
sunlight for different lengths of time.
It also means that the angle at which
sunlight strikes different parts of Earth's
surface changes through the year.
[Link] the effect of
Earth’s rotation?
The spinning of the
Earth causes day to turn
to night
3. What have you noticed about the amount of
light received by Earth as it revolves around
the sun?
As the earth revolves around the sun, the
place where light shines the brightest
changes. This motion gives us the different
seasons. For instance, the poles receive less
light than does the equator because of the
angle that the land around the poles receive
the sun's light.
4. What do you think are the occurrences
when Earth revolves around the sun?
The Earth is constantly in motion, revolving
around the Sun and rotating on its axis.
These motions account for many of the
phenomenon we see as normal
occurrences: night and day, changing of
the seasons, and different climates in
different regions.
Rotation- is the movement of earth on its axis.
Earth roates from west to east. It is clockwise as
seen above the North Pole and Counter Clockwise
as seen above South Pole. The period of one
complete rotation is defined as a day and takes 23
hours, 56 minutes, and 4.2 seconds. Earth’s rotation
is inclined or tilted 23.5 degrees relative to its
plane of revolution around the sub. The sun, moon,
planets, and stars do not orbit around Earth
everyday. It appears that the way to us because we
observe the sky from a planet that rorates once
every day, or 15 degrees per hour.
Results from Earth’s Rotation
The occurrence of day and night.
Places facing the sun experience
daytime while those facing away from
the sun experience nighttime. The
length of daytime and nighttime varies
as Earth revolves around the sun.
Results from Earth’s Rotation
The daily rising and setting of the
sun, stars and the moon are the
pattern of motion visible in the sky.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the
west, as do the moon, planets, and the
stars. These daily motions are the result
from the earth’s rotation.
Results from Earth’s Rotation
Earth’s rotation affects the flow of air
and water on earth. Flowing air and
water are diverted from north-south
direction to an east-west direction because
of Earth’s rotation. The diversion of
direction is called the Coriolis effect.
Revolution is the movement of an object
around the bigger object. Earth revolves
around the sun. Its orbit around the sun is in
the form of a slightly flattened cirle called
an ellipse. The sun is hot at the center of the
orbit, but is slightly off to one side. This
explains why Earth’s distance from the sun
varies. It is closest to the sun at 147 million
kilometers when it is in its orbit’s
perihelion. It is farthest from the sun at 152
million kilometers when it is in its orbit’s
aphelion.
Earth revolves around the sun as it
roates, or spins, on its axis. The period of
one revolution around the sun is defined
as a year. One complete revolution of
earth is 365.24 solar days or 365 days, 5
hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds.
Earth’s axis is tilted. As it orbits the sun,
Earth’s axis remains fixed in space so that
at one poinr, the northern hemisphere of
earth is tilted.
Results from Earth’s Revolution
Occurrence of Seasonal Changes
The seasons change through the year; the
length of days varies; and the temperature
may range from cold to hot depending on
the latitude where you live. The annual
changes are the result of Earth’s orbital
motion around the sun is called a revolution.
Our seasons are created by this orbit tilt and
by Earth’s orbital motion around the sun.
