The video tutorial explains Earth's rotation and revolution, detailing how Earth revolves around the sun in 365.25 days and rotates on its axis every 24 hours, resulting in day and night. It discusses the tilt of Earth's axis at 23.5 degrees, which causes the seasons. The Northern Hemisphere experiences long, warm days in summer and shorter, cooler days in winter. The video also covers the winter and summer solstices, the shortest and longest days of the year, respectively, and the equinoxes, when day and night are equal.
