Answer:
1 a)23.5 degrees
b)Earth's rotation is the rotation of Planet Earth around its own axis.
Revolution is the term used to describe the path (or orbit) of Earth through space.
c)A leap year is a calendar year that contains an additional day added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year or seasonal year.
d)The day that the Earth's North Pole is tilted closest to the sun is called the summer solstice. ... It is also the day that the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky. The winter solstice, or the shortest day of the year, happens when the Earth's North Pole is tilted farthest from the Sun.
e)An equinox is commonly regarded as the instant of time when the plane of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun. This occurs twice each year, around 20 March and 23 September. In other words, it is the moment at which the center of the visible Sun is directly above the equator.
Because of the tilt of the earth on its axis. When the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun, the northern hemisphere experiences summer solstice. ... That is why, When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere. It's all because the Earth is tilted on its axis.
The axis of the earth is tilted, due to which the sun continuously either shines or cannot be seen for a long time here.
