Question 6 • W Geography_A_IC

Which of the following statements does not describe the Earth's rotation?

Answer
A
It causes the Earth to experience day and night.
B
It causes the Sun to appear to rise in the east.
C
It happens as the Earth spins on its axis.
D
It takes 365.25 days to complete.

Explanation

Earth’s rotation is its spin on its axis, which takes about 24 hours and causes day and night. This spin also makes the Sun appear to rise in the east. Earth takes about 365.25 days to orbit the Sun, so “It takes 365.25 days to complete” describes its revolution, not its rotation.
