earth rotation

Earth rotation refers to the spinning of our planet on its axis, which is an imaginary line running from the North Pole to the South Pole. This rotation takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full turn, leading to the cycle of day and night. As the Earth spins, different parts face the Sun, experiencing daylight, while others are in darkness. The rotation is counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This movement also influences various natural phenomena, such as the Coriolis effect, which affects weather patterns and ocean currents.
