A revolution can be described as

• the movement of one object on its axis

• a line that keeps the Earth tilted
• a line that is perpendicular to the Earth
• an imaginary line that passes through Earth's center and north and south poles

Earth has seasons because of the

Latitude is 

• the distance measured in degrees that a place is from the North Pole
• the distance measured in degrees that a place is from the South Pole
