The video explains the concepts of Earth's rotation and revolution. Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night, while its revolution around the Sun leads to the changing seasons. The Earth's axis is tilted, which results in different parts of the planet receiving varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, creating seasons. A demonstration using a globe and lamp illustrates these movements, showing how the apparent motion of the Sun is due to Earth's movements.
