The movement of rotation allows us to use orientation techniques.

Location is the first step in studying Geography since this science describes and explains space.

Coordinates are the value of latitude and longitude, combined, based on the parallels and meridians, respectively, that define a point as they intersect.

Summer solstice and winter solstice.

Meteoroids are fragments of solid matter, smaller than an asteroid and bigger than an atom and moving through interplanetary space.
