Question

Which statement best describes the orbit of Earth?

B. Earth rotates on its own axis and revolves around the Sun.
C. The Earth tilts back and forth as it revolves around the Moon.
D. Earth revolves around the planets within the Milky Way galaxy.

Answer 1

B. Earth rotates on its own axis and revolves around the Sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

The earth moves not only in one way but in two ways. It revolves around its axis and revolves around the Sun.

We do not notice it because we are on Earth and we turn together with it.

When the Earth revolves around its (imagined) axis, we call such a movement a rotation, and when it revolves around the Sun - a revolution.
