Answer:
1.The circle of illumination is a hypothetical line. It divides daylight and darkness from night.
2.Rotation of the earth describes the spinning of the earth around its axis, resulting in the 24 hour phenomenon of day and night over the earth. Revolution on the other hand describes the movement of the earth around the sun over a period of one year, causing seasons to occur.
3.For areas to the north and south, the seasons can change more significantly. People closer to the poles might experience icier, more frigid winters, while those closer to the equator might suffer hotter summers.
4.With the cardinal points thus accurately defined, by convention cartographers draw standard maps with north (N) at the top, and east (E) at the right. In turn, maps provide a systematic means to record where places are, and cardinal directions are the foundation of a structure for telling someone how to find those places.
5. as there is a difference of 5 hrs and 30 mins between greenwich(london) and india ,so when there is 12 noon in london there will be 5:30 pm in india
Explanation:
Answer:
1. The imaginary line that separates light from the darkness and day from the night is known as the circle of illumination.
2. The Rotation of the earth is its motion spinning within its axis.
The Revolution of the Earth is its motion circling the Sun in its orbit.
3.Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
4.Cardinal directions are probably the most important directions in geography: north, south, east and west. These directions help us orient ourselves wherever we are.
5. The Earth rotates 1° in four minute. ... Therefore, the time in India is 5 hrs and 28 minutes ahead of London (since India is located to the east of Greenwich). So if the time in London is 12:00 pm, we will add 5 hrs and 30 minutes to it which will be 5:30 pm.
