There is a huge difference between It's and Its. An apostrophe is used in 2 cases - 1. Possession. 2. Contraction. Possession - It's - means It is. Contraction - Can't means Cannot. ----------------- It's is always an abbreviation for 'It is'. Ex- It's raining - It is raining. It's a nice day...

There is a huge difference between It's and Its.

An apostrophe is used in 2 cases - 1. Possession.   2. Contraction.

Possession - It's - means It is.

Contraction - Can't means Cannot.

-----------------

It's is always an abbreviation for 'It is'.

Ex- It's raining - It is raining.

It's a nice day - It is a nice day.

---------

Its is the possessive of 'it'.

Ex- That is Shikha's pet but I don't know its name.

So here its means belonging to Shikha.

Its is a possessive pronoun.

It's is the contraction (short form) of 'It is' or 'It has'. For example, It is a very good place = It's a very good place. It's been raining = It has been raining. The word 'its' refers to the possession of something (e.g. an animal, etc). For instance, the cat hit its tail (= the tail of the cat)....

The word it’s is short for ‘it is’ (as in it's raining), or in informal speech, for ‘it has’ (as in it's got six legs). The word its means ‘belonging to it’

It's is always the abbreviation of "it is" as in "It's (= it is) a nice day, isn't it?" Its is the possessive of "it" as in, "That is Morton's puppy but I don't know its name." In the second sentence, its means "belonging to it".
