The difference between "its" and "it's" lies in their usage and meaning.
"Its" is a possessive pronoun that indicates ownership or possession. It is used to show that something belongs to or is associated with a thing or animal that has already been mentioned. For example, "The dog wagged its tail" or "The company increased its profits."
On the other hand, "it's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has." It is used to combine the pronoun "it" with the verb "is" or "has." For instance, "It's raining outside" or "It's been a long day."
To determine which one to use, it is important to consider the context and the intended meaning of the sentence. If you want to express possession, use "its." If you want to indicate a contraction of "it is" or "it has," use "it's."
