Q.5: Label the seasons diagram below for the northern hemisphere.
The diagram shows the Earth's position at different times of the year as it orbits the Sun. The key to labeling the seasons is understanding the tilt of the Earth's axis and how it affects sunlight distribution.
1.
Top Left Position (Earth on the left side):
- The Northern Hemisphere is tilted
away from the Sun.
- This corresponds to
Winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
2.
Top Right Position (Earth on the right side):
- The Northern Hemisphere is tilted
toward the Sun.
- This corresponds to
Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
3.
Bottom Left Position (Earth near the bottom left):
- The Northern Hemisphere is transitioning from Winter to Spring.
- This corresponds to
Spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
4.
Bottom Right Position (Earth near the bottom right):
- The Northern Hemisphere is transitioning from Summer to Fall.
- This corresponds to
Fall in the Northern Hemisphere.
Thus, the labels for the diagram are:
- Top Left:
Winter
- Top Right:
Summer
- Bottom Left:
Spring
- Bottom Right:
Fall

Q.6: Which of the following term is defined as an imaginary line that runs through from the North Pole to the South Pole, on which the Earth spins?
The question asks for the term that describes the Earth's rotational axis. Let's analyze the options:
-
a) Altitude: This refers to the height above sea level or the angle of elevation of a celestial object.
-
b) Ecliptic: This is the apparent path of the Sun in the sky over the course of a year.
-
c) Axis: This is the imaginary line around which the Earth rotates.
-
d) Equator: This is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The correct answer is:
-
c) Axis
####
Q.7: Which of the following term is defined as an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres?
The question asks for the term that describes the line dividing the Earth into two equal halves (Northern and Southern Hemispheres). Let's analyze the options:
-
a) Altitude: This refers to the height above sea level or the angle of elevation of a celestial object.
-
b) Ecliptic: This is the apparent path of the Sun in the sky over the course of a year.
-
c) Axis: This is the imaginary line around which the Earth rotates.
-
d) Equator: This is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The correct answer is:
-
d) Equator

Q.8: The hemisphere of the Earth that is tilted away from the Sun receives ________ density of sunlight.
When the Earth is tilted away from the Sun, the sunlight hits that hemisphere at a more oblique angle. This results in a lower density of sunlight because the same amount of sunlight is spread over a larger area.
The correct answer is:
-
b) lower
Final Answers:
-
Q.5: Top Left:
Winter, Top Right:
Summer, Bottom Left:
Spring, Bottom Right:
Fall
-
Q.6: c) Axis
-
Q.7: d) Equator
-
Q.8: b) lower
$$
\boxed{\text{Winter, Summer, Spring, Fall; c) Axis; d) Equator; b) lower}}
$$
