Critical thinking question-
How is earth affected by the movement(revolution)?
The Earth takes 365.25 days to revolve around the sun.  It is during this year or revolution that brings Earth it’s seasons.Also its affected by the axis which cause days and nights,and the moon movement which caused  tides which causes water level to be high or low or sometimes normal.
