Answer:

(i) The Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west. And that's because Earth spins -- toward the east. ... Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.

(ii) This happens because Earth's rotation generates what is known as the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect makes wind systems twist counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

(iii) Leap years have 366 days because adding a day to the year is a necessity to maintain the smooth functioning of the Gregorian calendar that we all follow around the world. This calendar assumes that Earth takes 365 days and a quarter of a day to complete one revolution around the sun.
