Rotation vs Revolution

What causes the seasons on Earth?

• The distance of the Earth from the Sun

• The tilt of the Earth's axis and its revolution around the Sun

• The rotation of the Earth on its axis

• The gravitational pull of the Moon

What is the relationship between rotation and the length of a day?

• The length of a day is determined by the time it takes for the Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis.

• The length of a day is fixed and does not change with the Earth's rotation.

• The length of a day is longer during summer months due to increased sunlight.

• The length of a day is influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon.

What is the difference between rotation and revolution?

• Rotation is the movement of one object around another object.

• Revolution is the spinning of an object around its own axis.

• Rotation is the spinning of an object around its own axis, while revolution is the movement of one object around another object.

• Revolution refers to the change in position of an object over time.

What causes day and night on Earth?

• Day and night are caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis.

• Day and night are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis.

• Day and night are caused by the distance of the Earth from the Sun.

• Day and night are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon.

What is Earth's axis?

• An imaginary line that divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

• A physical line that runs from the Earth's core to its surface.

• An invisible line that passes through the North and South Poles.

• A line that marks the equator of the Earth.

What is the term for the time it takes for the Earth to rotate once on its axis?

• A 'day'

What is the effect of Earth's rotation on shadows?

• Shadows remain the same length throughout the day.

• Shadows change length and direction throughout the day.

• Shadows only appear at night.

• Shadows are unaffected by the Earth's rotation.

What is the significance of the equator?

• It is the line that marks the boundary between land and sea.

• It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and is equidistant from the poles.

• It is the point where the sun is directly overhead at noon during the equinoxes.

• It is the longest line of latitude on Earth.
