- Q11. The imaginary line around which the Earth rotates is called its:OrbitEquatorAxisPrime Meridian30sSC7.FM.1
- Q22. What causes the cycle of day and night?Earth's revolution around the SunSolar flaresEarth's axial tiltEarth’s rotation on its axis30s
- Q33. One complete revolution of the Earth around the Sun takes approximately:30 days365.25 days1 year24 hours30s
- Q44. The primary reason for seasons on Earth is:The speed of Earth's rotationThe tilt of the Earth's axisThe shape of the Earth's orbitThe Earth's varying distance from the Sun30s
- Q55. The Earth rotates from:South to NorthNorth to SouthEast to WestWest to East30s
- Q66. If the Earth's axis were perpendicular to its orbital plane, which would be most accurate to describe Earth’s seasons?They would be more intense.They would be unpredictable.There would be no seasonal variation.They would be much longer.30s
- Q77. If it is sunrise in London, what time is it likely to be in a place on the opposite side of the Earth?Mid-dayMidnightSunsetDawn30s
- Q88. During the Earth's revolution around the Sun, what causes the changes in the length of daylight at different latitudes?The Earth’s tilt on its axisThe Earth’s rotational speedThe Earth’s distance from the sunThe Earth’s magnetic field30s
- Q99. Which part of the Earth receives the most direct sunlight during the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere?The Tropic of CapricornThe South PoleThe Tropic of CancerThe Equator30s
- Q1010. Imagine a planet whose axial tilt is 45 degrees. How would the seasons on this planet likely compare to Earth’s seasons?They would be less extreme.They would be more extreme.It will have minimal effect on the seasonal patternThey would be the same as Earth's30s
- Q1111. If a planet's orbit was a perfect circle around its star, and all other characteristics were Earth like, how would that affect its seasons?There will be no impact to the planet’s seasonsSeasons would be shorter.Seasons would be longer.Seasons would still exist but may be less intense30s
- Q1212. Why is the length of days different between summer and winter?The varying speed of Earth’s revolutionThe angle at which sunlight falls on Earth due to its tilt.The distance of Earth from the Sun.The constant change in the Earth’s rotational speed30s
- Q1313. On a fictional planet, the north and south poles each experience a six-month period of continuous sunlight and a six-month period of complete darkness. What can you infer about its axial tilt?Its axial tilt is very high (near 90 degrees)Its axial tilt is zero degreesIts axial tilt is very smallIt is not possible to infer the axial tilt30s
- Q1414. A city in the Southern Hemisphere is known for its long, sunny days in December. What is the likely position of the Earth during this time?Northern hemisphere tilted towards sunEarth is farthest from the sun in its orbitEarth is closest to the sun in its orbit.Southern hemisphere tilted towards sun30s
- Q1515. You observe trees dropping their leaves and preparing for winter. Based on Earth's seasonal cycles, what stage of the year is it likely to be?AutumnWinterSummerSpring30s
