State one important consequence of each of the following:
(a) Rotation of Earth on its axis.
(b) Motion of tilted Earth around the Sun.
(a) The Earth rotates on its axis taking approximately 24 hours to complete one rotation. Rotation of Earth causes the day night cycle which also creates a corresponding cycle of temperature and humidity.
(b) The plane in which the Earth revolves round the Sun is called the orbital plane of the Earth. The axis of rotation of the Earth is not perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. These two planes are inclined to each other at an angle of 23.5° This tilt is responsible for the change of seasons on the Earth.
