Exploring Earth's Rotation and Revolution

The video tutorial explains the Earth's rotation and revolution, detailing their characteristics and effects. Rotation causes day and night, Coriolis effect, and time differences, while revolution leads to seasonal changes and variations in day length. The Earth's axis tilt and elliptical orbit are key factors in these phenomena.
