Definition of the Earth Revolution

As a result of the Earth Revolution
Besides rotating the Earth's axis, the Earth also made a revolutionary movement around the Sun. The motion of the Earth Revolution is the event of an object moving around the center of a particular object due to gravity. The movement of the Earth circulates around the Sun its path is not circular, but rather oval. Copernicus was the first to suggest that the Earth rotates on its axis once rounds in a day and the Earth moves around the Sun once a year.

Definition of the Earth Revolution
The Earth Revolution is the circulation of the earth around the sun. The earth's revolution is the result of a tug of war between the gravitational force of the sun and the gravitational force of the earth, in addition to the rotation of the earth on its axis or called the rotation of the earth.
When the revolution of the earth in one circle around the sun is 365¼ days. The earth evolved not perpendicular to the ecliptic plane but tilted in the same direction to form an angle of 23.50 to the sun, this angle was measured from an imaginary line connecting the north pole and south pole called the axis of rotation.

As a result of the Earth Revolution
Change in Season
The northern and southern hemisphere experiences four seasons. The four seasons are spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The following is a season table for specific times and regions in the hemisphere.

Seasons in the northern hemisphere
Spring: March 21 to June 21
Summer: June 21 to September 23
Autumn: September 23 - December 22
Winter: December 22 - March 21
The seasons are divided by the earth

Spring: September 23 to December 22
Summer: December 22 to March 21
Autumn: March 21 to June 22
Winter: June 21 - September 23

The Difference Between Day and Night Time
The Difference Between Day and Night Time
Between March 21 and September 23
The north pole approaches the sun, while the south pole away from the sun.
The northern hemisphere receives more sun than the southern hemisphere.
The length of the day in the northern hemisphere is longer than in the southern hemisphere.
There are areas around the north pole that experience 24-hour day and there are areas around the south pole that experience 24-hour nights.
Between September 23 and March 21
The south pole is closer to the sun, while the north pole is closer to the sun.
The southern hemisphere receives more sun than the northern hemisphere.
The length of the day in the southern hemisphere is longer than the northern hemisphere.
There are areas around the north pole that experience 24-hour nights and there are areas around the south pole that experience 24-hour day.
On March 21 and December 23
The north pole and south pole are the same distance to the sun.
The northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere receive as much sun.
The length of day and night are the same in all parts of the earth.
In the equator the sun seems to pass directly above the head.

Pseudo Motion of the Sun.
Shifting the sun's position towards the northern hemisphere (December 22 to June 21) and the shifting position of the sun from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere (June 21 to December 21) is called the daily apparent motion of the sun. So called because the sun is actually not moving. That motion is due to the earth's revolution with a tilted rotation axis.
Visible constellations that differ from month to month
The constellations are the arrangement of stars that appear from the earth to form certain patterns. The stars forming a constellation are actually not in a close location. Because the location of the stars is very far away, so when observed from the earth as if they appear close together. The constellations that we know include Aquarius, Pisces, Gemini, Scorpio, Leo, and others.
When the earth is to the east of the sun, we can only see stars that are to the east of the sun. When the earth is north of the sun, we can only see stars that are north of the sun. As a result of the earth's revolution, the stars that appear from the earth are always changing.

Gregorian calendar
Based on the division of longitude, namely the west longitude and east longitude, the international boundary limit is longitude 180o, consequently if the east part of the 180o longitude is on the 15th, then in the western hemisphere the 180o longitude is still the 14th, as if it jumped one day. The Islamic calendar count is based on the time of the earth's revolution, where one year is 365 ¼ days.
The first Islamic calendar used was the Julius Caesar calendar or the Julian calendar. The Julian calendar is based on the interval between one spring and the next spring in the northern hemisphere. This time interval is exactly 365,242 days or 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes 46 seconds. Julius Caesar set the calendar calculation as follows.
The length of time in a year is 365 days
To accommodate excess ¼ days in each year, the length of one year is extended by 1 day to 366 days every four years. One day is added in February. Longer years a day are called leap years
To make it easier to remember, then chosen as a leap year is a year that runs out in four. Examples are 1984,2000, and others.

Earth Revolution
Earth's Rotation and Revolutionary Movement
Earth is a planet, in order the planets closest to the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The earth is circulating according to its source with a rotation time of 27.9 hours and the distance of the earth's sun ± 150 million km.
The motion of the earth's rotation will affect weather conditions on the surface of the earth, for example, occurs day and night, with a change of time of ± 12 hours, for areas between 23.50 North and South latitudes, and ± 6 months for areas around the North and South Poles, from March 21 to September 21 in the North Pole experiencing daytime and in the South Pole experiencing night, from September 21 to March 21 in the North Pole experiencing the night and in the South Pole experiencing daytime.
The earth circulates around the sun with a revolution of 365.25 days (1 year) in an anti clockwise direction (counterclockwise) and with an average circulation speed of 18.5 miles / sec. Because the ecliptic is elliptical, the sun is one of its central points, so the distance of the earth's sun is not always fixed but it changes.
The Perihelium Point is where the earth circulates closest to the sun, occurring on December 21st. Aphelium Point is the point where the earth is farthest from the sun, occurring on June 21st. Because the earth's revolution and the tilt of the earth's axis towards the ecliptic amounted to 66.50 resulting in seasonal changes in the region which is located between 23.50 North to the North Pole and 23.50 South to the South Pole.

Class Social Interaction

Scope of Social Competence

Scope of Social Competence
Social competence in this learning activity is closely related to the ability of teachers to communicate with the community around the school and the community where the teacher lives so that the role and way of the teacher communicating in the community is expected to have its own characteristics which are more or less different from other people who are not teachers. The mission carried by the teacher is a humanitarian mission. Teaching and educating is the task of humanity. Teachers must have social competence because the teacher is a contemporary lecturer.
Based on the understanding and scope of social competence as mentioned above, the core of social competence is the ability of teachers to do social interaction through communication. Teachers are required to communicate with fellow teachers, students, parents of students, and the surrounding community, etc. So the teacher is required to know many social groups such as play groups, cooperation groups, religious scholars, recitation, youth, etc.
The understanding of social interaction is very useful in paying attention and learning various community problems, including learning problems. Without social interaction, it is possible to have a life together that is manifested in association. Life is true when members of the community work together, talk to each other, share experiences, and even compete with one another. Social interaction is the basis of social processes as an understanding that refers to dynamic social relationships. In general it can be said that, for general social processes are social interactions. And social interaction is the main condition for the occurrence of social activities.
A social interaction is not possible without social contact and communication. When we talk to someone, it means there is contact between us and that person. Speaking can be directly, can be by telephone, letter, radio, and so on. In family life at home, social contact almost always occurs among fellow family members. Social contact in this family can occur between a member and some or all other family members, as well as between a community member and several or many other community members. In social life, contact can also be found between one group and another group of people.

In architecture in Indonesia (Irawan Maryono and L. Edison Silalahi, 1985) stated that there are four forms of social interaction, among others;
1) cooperation (co-operation),
2) competition (competition),
3) contention,
4) accommodation. Co-operation is cooperation between individuals or between groups of people in society to achieve certain goals together as well. Other forms that can be classified as cooperation include assimilation and alkuluration in culture.

Assimilation is a social process or community process towards a positive change because of the fusion of cultures between groups to form a new culture. While alkultura is the merging of two or more elements of culture into a new culture, but the original element is not lost. Competition is one form of social interaction carried out between individuals or between groups of people in society.
They compete to obtain or achieve certain goals through areas of life without violence and without threats. While conflict is one form of social interaction carried out between individuals or between groups of people in society in order to achieve certain goals with violence and threats. Accommodation as a form of social interaction is in balance and each group of people merges to form new norms, rules, values (customs) that are applicable and agreed upon in the local community. The purpose of this accommodation include the following.
Reducing conflict between people or groups of people in society due to differences in understanding.
Prevent the explosion or emergence of a conflict for a while.
As a vehicle for cooperation between people or groups of people in society.
Encourage the fusion of (intermingling) between separate or conflicting groups.
Social interaction through the learning process is largely determined by the teacher, students, all education staff, parents, and the community. In the conversation between the teacher and students or with parents students may occur reciprocally. In the most important social interaction is to build communication, namely that someone gives an interpretation of the behavior of others, whether in the form of speech, gestures, or attitudes.
