explanation

its is a possessive adjective indicating that something belongs to it (an object or an animal)	You should find that poor animal (= it) and put it out of its misery. When the world (= it) turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world!
it’s is the contraction of either it is or it has	“It’s (= it is) perfectly understandable, Charlotte”, my mother said. It’s (= it has) been going since 1990 when I was a junior in college.
