» teacherbri - misconceptions about rotation and revolution


Hi all! I just wanted to respectfully point out that the earth REVOLVES around the sun in approx. 365.25 days and it ROTATES around its axis in approx. 24 hours. Students should be sure to know the difference between revolution and rotation and when to use the terms appropriately.
