1) The diurnal (daily) movement of earth round the sun is called rotation. The time of one complete rotation is 23 hopurs, 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds-one sidereal day.
2) The earth's axis is tilted at an angle 23.5 degree. The tilt in the axis of the earth is called its obliquity by scientists. Earth has seasons because our planet's axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degree relative to our orbital plane- the plane of Earth's orbit around the sun.
3) The sun is closest to the eath during Perihelion around 4th January, when it,s winter for the Northern Hemisphere.
4) The sun is farthest to the earth during Aphelion around 5th July, during our Northern Hemisphere summer.
