Answer 1

Which of the following is not the effect of the rotation of the earth?

(A) Formation of day and night

(B) Flatness at poles and bulge at the equator

(C) Apparent movement of sun, moon and stars

(D) Chane in season

The required answer is an option (D) Change in season.

Explanation:

• The Earth is tilted as it makes its yearly trip around the Sun, which is why we have seasons.

• The tilt of the Earth's axis is 23.5 degrees. This implies that while the Earth revolves around the Sun, it is always pointed in a specific direction. Thus, the Sun occasionally points in the same direction as the Earth, but not always. The seasons are a result of the Earth receiving different amounts of sunshine throughout the year. The primary cause of seasons is the tilt of the Earth's axis.

• Due to the Earth's tilt, six months later the planet will either be tilted toward the Sun (summer) or away from the Sun (winter). There will be two seasons between spring and autumn.

Therefore, the seasons are brought on by the Earth's axis of rotation's tilt with regard to the plane of its orbit.
