Anonim

It is the movement of a body, from one place to another, this word derives from the transference that is composed of the Latin prefix "trans" which means "the other side" and the root "ferre" which refers to carry, endure or produce something.

Among the translation synonyms we can find move, transport, slide, change, change. Some antonyms are stopping, stopping, stopping, and freezing.

Translation implies the movement of an object, person, position, position or event. The translation of an object, for example, refers to the transport of a thing from one place to another. The translation of a position, for example, means a change of position in the field of work. The translation of an event is the movement date of an activity. It is possible to define the translation as an isometry in Euclidean space characterized by a vector, so that, at each point P of an object or figure, another point P is made to correspond. A translation displaces each point of a figure or space by itself amount in direction.

We all know that the Earth makes two types of movement: it moves on itself and makes another movement around the sun. The first is known as a rotational movement and the second is the translational movement.

At the same time as our planet rotates on itself, so it does around the sun. The Earth takes a year to travel the sun. This implies that the movement of translation is what gives rise to the different seasons of the year, while the movement of rotation is what produces the change between night and day.

In the translation movement the path that the Earth travels around the Sun is known as Earth's orbit and during this period of time the four seasons are developing (spring runs from March 21 to June 20, summer runs between March 21 June and September 21, Fall runs from September 22 to December 21 and winter occurs between December 22 and March 20).

If the Earth's orbit is divided into two axes, each one corresponds to two solstices, the summer solstice and the winter solstice (the first day of the summer solstice occurs the longest day of the year and the first day of the winter solstice occurs longest night).
