It's is a shortened form of it is, just like don't is a shortened form of do not. It can also be a shortened form of it has. With both of these, if you can use the long versions, "it is," or "it has," then you can replace it in your sentence with it's. The other one, its, is used to show belonging, and is gender neutral.

Examples: The dog wagged its tail. It's going to be warm today (this uses the it is contraction). It's been a really great year (this uses the it has contraction).

Hope this helped!
