Question
How does rotation affect the earth?
✓

Answer

  1. It is because of the rotation that days and nights take place.
  2. Half of the earth receiving sunlight experiences day and the other half night.
  3. This alternate day and night phenomenon keeps going on over time. These days and nights are not equal in all parts of the world.
  4. It is attributed to the inclination of the earth that day and night is of equal length at the equator and unequal as we move towards the pole.
  5. Again, here we can refer to the fact that the earth is inclined to the plane of its orbit (66½°) which makes one of the hemispheres to lean against the sun for a greater period, let’s say six months.
