• Revolution is the process in which the Earth
  revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit.
  Revolution causes seasons due to the
  concentration of sunlight.

Rotation

• Rotation is Earths spinning on its axis. One
  rotation takes 24 hours. When the Earth spins on
  its axis it causes day and night for different
  parts of the Earth. The axis is tilted at 23.5.
  This tilt causes the sun to be concentrated on
  certain hemispheres on the Earth.

Orbit

• The orbit of Earth is in a shape called an
  ellipse. When the Earth revolves around the sun
  it causes seasons. The seasons change depending
  on the position Earth is in its orbit, and the
  concentration of sunlight over a certain area.
