revolution, tilt
rotation, tilt
rotation, revolution

Answer 2

what does the eart do constantly?

Answer 3

earth*

Answer 4

rotates

Answer 5

so the first one is eliminated

Answer 6

now, does it tilt? or does it revolution-ize? i dont know how to phrase that lol

Answer 7

I think it's the second one but i'm probably wrong

Answer 8

BINGO

Answer 9

Let's not "think it's the second one," especially if you suspect you may be wrong.
Hope the following makes sense: "The earth rotates on its axis, but also revolves around the sun."
And yes, the earth's axis tilts depending upon the season.

Answer 10

you got it :) good job :)

Answer 11

thank you all

Answer 12

That's not correct. The Earth revolving around the Sun causes day and night, not seasons.

Answer 13

oh yeah that slipped through my mind

Answer 14

The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis away or toward the sun as it travels through its year-long path around the sun. The Earth has a tilt of 23.5 degrees relative to the "ecliptic plane" (the imaginary surface formed by it's almost-cicular path around the sun)

Answer 15

Yes, so tilt is the second answer, not revolution.

Answer 16

Seasons are caused by the Earth's rotation around its own axis, and affect temperature and nature. Around the June Solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun and gets more of the Sun's direct rays. This is why Northern Hemisphere residents experience summer in the months of June, July and August.

Answer 17

just for you @Alphabet_Sam
The period of revolution of the Earth around the Sun is equal to one year. The Earth makes one revolution on its axis in about 24 hours.

Answer 18

Regarding the question, does it mean revolution on Earth's axis and rotation about the Sun, or revolution about the Sun and rotation on Earth's axis? They are synonyms. Although I meant that the Earth spinning on its axis does not deal with the seasons, I apologize if I did not clarify.

Answer 19

it's ok you helped thanks
