Earth’s motion

Earth’s motion involves two main movements: it spins on its axis approximately once every 24 hours, creating day and night, and it orbits the Sun, completing a full trip every 365.25 days, which causes the changing seasons. The axis tilt relative to its orbit explains variations in climate throughout the year. Additionally, Earth moves through space with the solar system, traveling around the galaxy at about 828,000 km/h. These motions are consistent and predictable, shaping the natural cycles of day, night, and seasonal change we experience.
