Explanation:

Circle of Illumination :-

  • The circle of illumination is the circle that divides the day from night on the globe.

  • It takes 365¼ days (one year) for the earth to revolve around the sun.

  • Six hours saved every year are added to make one day (24 hours) over a span of four years. This surplus day is added to the month of February. Thus, every fourth year we have a leap year with 366 days.

  • Earth goes around the sun in an elliptical orbit. Note that throughout its orbit, the earth is inclined in the same direction.
