Rotation

Rotation is when something turns or spins around a fixed point. It's like when you spin yourself around in a circle, or when a merry-go-round goes around and around. You know how when you spin, your head stays in one place while your feet move around it? That's called a fixed point.

When things rotate, they move in a circular or curved path around that same fixed point. For example, the Earth rotates around the sun. This means that it moves in a circle around the sun, and it takes one year for the Earth to complete one rotation.

There are lots of things that rotate, like planets, wheels, and even tiny atoms! It's important to understand rotation because it helps us understand how things move and how they work. It's also a big part of physics and other sciences.

Now, if you want to try rotating something yourself, you can spin a top. This toy has a pointy end that you put on a surface, and when you spin it, it rotates around that point. Have fun spinning!
