(c) Earth is the only known planet which supports life. (d) The revolution of the earth causes the changes in Seasons. (e) The earth takes about 365 1/4 days to revolve around the Sun.
EduRev Tips:
The Shape of the Earth is Spherical. Because the Earth is a sphere, the surface gets much more intense sunlight (heat) at the equator than at the poles.
Day and night are due to the Earth rotating on its axis, not its orbiting around the sun.
Our solar system has eight planets revolving around the sun along with other dwarf planets and celestial bodies. Of all the known planets only the planet earth supports life.
Earth has seasons because its axis is tilted. Earth’s axis is always pointed in the same direction, so different parts of Earth get the Sun’s direct rays throughout the year.
At the same time that the Earth spins on its axis, it also orbits, or revolves around the Sun. This movement is called revolution.
Answer the following questions.
Q3: What is the revolution of the earth Ans: The movement of the Earth around the Sun in a fixed path is called a revolution. The Earth revolves from west to east i.e, in the anticlockwise direction. The Earth completes one revolution around the Sun in one year or precisely in 365(¼) days.
Q4: How are day and night formed on earth? Ans: We get day and night because the Earth spins (or rotates) on an imaginary line called its axis and different parts of the planet are facing towards the Sun or away from it. It takes 24 hours for the world to turn all the way around, and we call this a day.
Q5: In how many days does the earth complete one revolution around the sun? Ans: The earth takes about 365(¼) days to revolve around the Sun.
Q6: Give two evidences to show that the earth is spherical in shape. Ans:
Heavenly bodies appear to be spherical: The Sun, the Moon and other heavenly bodies appear to be spherical when viewed from different positions. The earth is one of them and hence it must also be spherical in shape.
The Lunar Eclipse: The lunar eclipse proves that the Earth is in spherical shape. During lunar eclipse when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, the shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon.
Horizon: When we see the horizon it’s always bent.
Q7: Explain the movement of the earth. Ans: The two main movements of the Earth are rotation and revolution. Rotation refers to the spinning of the Earth on its axis, which takes 24 hours and results in day and night. Revolution refers to the movement of the Earth around the Sun on its orbit, taking 365¼ days to complete and causing the change in seasons.
Q8: Why cannot we see the sun at night? Ans: We cannot see the sun at night because since the earth constantly rotates on its axis, there’s always one side that faces towards the sun which we call “daytime”, and the side that faces away from the sun is what we call “nighttime”. Day and NightQ9: State True or False for the given statements.
