Question

What is the daily motion of the earth?

Answer 1

1. Earth has two types of movements- Rotation and revolution.
2. Revolution is defined as the motion around the sun whereas rotation is spinning about its own axis.
3. As the earth spins around its own axis, it takes about 24 hours and so it is called the daily motion of the earth.
4. The earth rotates eastward or counterclockwise as viewed from the north pole.

Hence, the daily motion of the earth is called rotation.
