 Earth's Movement
Around the Sun
Earth's movement around the sun is a fundamental
concept in astronomy and has important implications
for our planet's climate, tides, and the length of our
days and nights.

The Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to

complete one orbit around the sun, which is elliptical
 in shape.

The tilt of Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun
explain the variation in seasons and the length of
daylight experienced throughout the year.

hours.
The earth also moves around
the sun in a fixed path called
orbit. This movement is also
called revolution.
Earth completes one revolution
in about 365 days.

revolution: Summer, Winter,
Autumn and Spring

 Milankovitch
Parameters
What to know:
Milankovitch parameters refer to three different
factors that influence Earth's climate: eccentricity,
 axial tilt, and precession.

These parameters are named after Serbian

mathematician Milutin Milankovitch, who first
proposed their importance in the 1920s and
1930s.

Warming
Climate Change as a result of
Global Warming
Climate change is a long-term shift in global weather patterns that
result from an increase in Earth's average surface temperature.
This temperature increase is primarily caused by global warming,
which is the ongoing rise in the average temperature of the Earth's
atmosphere and oceans.
Global warming is mainly driven by human activities such as burning
fossil fuels, deforestation, and other land-use changes, which have led
to an increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases like
carbon dioxide and methane.

Impacts of the enhanced global warming have been identified by
various scientists.
More frequent hot days and fewer cool days
More intense heat waves
Worsening storms, floods and

Greenhouse
 Gases
EARTH’S NATURAL
GREENHOUSE EFFECTS

Greenhouse gases are

gases that trap heat in the
Earth's atmosphere and
contribute to the
greenhouse effect. The
most important greenhouse
gases include carbon
dioxide (CO2), methane
(CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O),
and fluorinated gases (such
as hydrofluorocarbons or
HFCs).
EARTH’S NATURAL
GREENHOUSE EFFECTS

These gases are produced naturally by

processes such as respiration and
volcanic eruptions, but they are also
emitted by human activities such as
burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and
industrial processes. When these
gases accumulate in the atmosphere,
they trap more heat from the sun,
causing the Earth's temperature to
rise. This process is known as the
greenhouse effect.

Future Actions/
Alternative Energy
Sources for Climate
Change
Promoting energy efficiency: Reducing energy waste through efficiency measures
in buildings, transportation, and industry can significantly reduce greenhouse gas
emissions.

Expanding renewable energy: Investing in renewable energy sources such as wind,

solar, hydropower, and geothermal energy can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Improving transportation: Encouraging the use of electric and hybrid vehicles,

promoting public transportation, and improving infrastructure for cycling and walking
can reduce emissions from transportation.

Supporting sustainable agriculture: Encouraging practices such as crop rotation,

reduced tillage, and integrated pest management can reduce emissions from
agriculture while improving soil health and productivity.
Protecting forests: Halting deforestation and promoting reforestation and
afforestation can help absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce
emissions from land use changes.

Developing carbon capture and storage technologies: These technologies can

capture carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial processes and
store them underground.

Promoting circular economy: Adopting a circular economy model can help

reduce waste and emissions by reusing and recycling materials instead of
extracting new resources.

Encouraging climate-friendly behavior: Educating the public about the impacts

of climate change and encouraging sustainable behavior, such as reducing meat
consumption and using energy-efficient appliances, can help reduce emissions.
