Slide Content

Motions of the Earth Understanding Rotation and Revolution Grade 9 ICSE

Introduction • Overview of Earth's motion • Importance for life on Earth

Types of Motions • Rotation and Revolution • Explanation with simple comparison

Rotation of the Earth • Definition • Axis and direction of rotation

Effects of Rotation • Day and night cycle • Apparent movement of the Sun

Coriolis Effect • Definition • Impact on wind and ocean currents

Time Zones and Rotation • 24 time zones • Why different places have different times

What is Revolution? • Definition and key facts • 365¼ days to complete one revolution

Orbital Path and Speed • Elliptical shape of orbit • Varying speed in different positions

Effects of Revolution • Formation of seasons • Changes in daylight duration

Solstices and Equinoxes • Summer & winter solstice • Spring & autumn equinox

Why Do We Have Seasons? • Earth's axial tilt (23.5°) • Different sunlight intensity

Perihelion and Aphelion • Closest and farthest points from the Sun • Minimal impact on temperature

Leap Year Concept • 365¼ days adjustment • Leap year occurs every 4 years

Midnight Sun and Polar Night • Phenomenon in Arctic and Antarctic circles • 24-hour day/night regions

Rotation vs Revolution • Tabular comparison (duration, effects, etc.)

Importance of Earth’s Motions • Impact on life, climate, and timekeeping

Misconceptions About Earth's Motions • Common myths vs scientific explanations

Summary • Key takeaways: rotation, revolution, and effects

Thank You! • Closing message • Space view of Earth
