Understanding Earth's Movements and Seasons

What causes the different seasons on Earth?

• The distance of Earth from the Sun

• The tilt of Earth's axis

• The speed of Earth's rotation

• The shape of Earth's orbit

How long does it take for Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis?

• 12 hours

• 24 hours

• 365 days

• 30 days

What is the primary reason for the occurrence of day and night?

• Earth's orbit around the Sun

• The tilt of Earth's axis

• Earth's rotation on its axis

• The gravitational pull of the Moon

How does gravity affect Earth's orbit around the Sun?

• It pulls Earth away from the Sun

• It keeps Earth in a stable orbit around the Sun

• It has no effect on Earth's orbit

• It causes Earth to spin faster

What happens to the length of daylight as you move from the equator towards the poles?

• It remains constant

• It increases

• It decreases

• It varies with the seasons
