"Its" is a possessive adjective like his/her in the examples: his car, her book. Whereas "it's" is a short form of it is, similar to this is, that is etc.

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".

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’

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)....
