Effect of Earth’s Motion
The movement of the earth around the sun is called revolution. The earth revolves around the sun
following an elliptical path called orbit. It takes one year or twelve months or 365 ¼ days for the earth to
make a complete revolution around the sun. On every fourth year known as the leap year, the earth
revolves for 366 days.
The position of the earth in the solar system, as it revolves around the sun, affects the seasons on
the earth. The varied seasons are caused by the differences in the angle at which the sun’s rays strike.
Example

The illustration shows that the Earth as it revolves around the sun and rotates on its axis causes
different parts of the earth to receive the vertical rays of the sun at different times of the year. Daylight
hours are longer for the hemisphere tilted towards the sun.

There are only two seasons in the Philippines, dry and rainy. In other countries, there are four
seasons. If the weather is very hot, it is summer. When the leaves of the plants dry up and fall, it is fall or
autumn. When the surrounding is very cold because it is filled with snow, it is winter and when leaves or the
flowers appear, then it is spring.
