The Earth's Dance: Rotation, Revolution, And The Cycle Of Day And Night

The video explains the concepts of Earth's rotation and revolution. Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night, while its revolution around the Sun leads to the changing seasons. The Earth's axis is tilted, which results in different parts of the planet receiving varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. A demonstration using a globe and lamp illustrates these movements, showing how the Earth's motion affects our perception of the Sun's movement in the sky.

What causes the cycle of day and night on Earth?

• Earth's revolution around the Sun

• The Moon blocking the Sun

• Earth's rotation on its axis

• The Sun moving around the Earth

How long does it take for Earth to complete one full revolution around the Sun?

• 30 days

• 24 hours

• 12 months

• 365 days

What is the main reason for the different seasons on Earth?

• The shape of Earth's orbit

• The speed of Earth's rotation

• The tilt of Earth's axis

• The distance of Earth from the Sun

During which season does the northern hemisphere lean towards the Sun?

• Autumn

• Winter

• Spring

• Summer

What would happen if Earth's axis were not tilted?

• The seasons would remain the same all year

• There would be no day and night

• The Earth would stop revolving

• The Sun would not rise or set
