Being the only planet on which humans survive, Earth rotates about its own axis.
The day is observed to celebrate the French Physicist, Leon Foucault who in 1851 demonstrated that the Earth rotates on its axis.
Foucault suspended a lead-filled brass sphere from the top of the Panthéon in Paris to prove his theory. The lead-filled brass sphere is now called the Foucault Pendulum from the top of the Pantheon in Paris.
Foucault’s Pendulum has shown that the plane of the swing of the pendulum rotated relative to that of the Earth’s own rotation. Foucault’s pendulum has demonstrated that the earth’s rotation is the cause of gravity.
