Earth's Movements and Their Effects

The video explains the movements of Earth, including its daily rotation and annual revolution. It discusses how these movements affect time zones, day and night cycles, and the changing seasons. The Earth's tilt and its consistent axial orientation during its orbit around the sun lead to the occurrence of different seasons. The video also highlights the significance of these natural phenomena in maintaining life on Earth.
