The given expression is:


\sin (-t)-\sin t

Recall the definition of an odd function:


f(-x)=-f(x)

Since the sine function is an odd function, it follows that:


\sin (-t)=-\sin t

Substitute this into the given expression:


\sin (-t)-\sin t=-\sin t-\sin t

Simplify the expression:


-2\sin t

Substitute sin t =a into the expression:


\begin{gathered} -2(a) \\ =-2a \end{gathered}

Hence, the expression in terms of a is -2a.

The answer is -2a.
