Let’s go through each question one by one and figure out the correct answers based on what we know about Earth, seasons, and how they work.
---
Q.1 Day and night is caused by _____ of Earth.
→ This is about why we have day and night. It happens because Earth spins on its axis — that’s called rotation. Revolution (going around the Sun) takes a year and causes seasons, not day/night.
✔ Correct answer:
a. rotation
---
Q.2 Seasons on Earth are caused by:
→ Many people think it’s because Earth gets closer or farther from the Sun, but that’s not true! The real reason is that Earth is tilted as it goes around the Sun. That tilt makes different parts get more direct sunlight at different times of year.
✔ Correct answer:
c. Tilt of Earth’s axis
---
Q.3 True or False: As Earth orbits the Sun, its tilted axis always points in the same direction.
→ Yes! Imagine holding a spinning top while walking in a circle — if you keep the top tilted the same way, it still points the same direction even as you move. Earth does this too — its North Pole always points toward Polaris (the North Star).
✔ Correct answer:
a. True
---
Q.4 Around June Earth’s _____ pole is tilting toward the Sun.
→ In June, the Northern Hemisphere has summer because the North Pole is leaning toward the Sun. That means more sunlight hits the north half of Earth.
✔ Correct answer:
a. North
---
Q.5 True or False: Seasons are caused by change in distance between Earth and Sun.
→ Nope! Earth’s orbit is almost circular, so the distance doesn’t change enough to cause seasons. It’s all about the tilt. Also, when it’s summer in the north, Earth is actually farthest from the Sun (in July), which proves distance isn’t the cause.
✔ Correct answer:
b. False
---
Q.6 True or False: Earth’s orbit is not a perfect circle.
→ Actually, Earth’s orbit is slightly oval-shaped (elliptical), not a perfect circle. But again, this doesn’t cause seasons — the tilt does. Still, the statement is factually true.
✔ Correct answer:
a. True
---
Q.7 Around December Earth’s _____ pole is tilting toward the Sun.
→ In December, the Southern Hemisphere has summer because the South Pole is leaning toward the Sun. So the southern half gets more direct sunlight then.
✔ Correct answer:
b. South
---
Q.8 In June it is _____ in Northern Hemisphere.
→ Since the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun in June, the Northern Hemisphere gets more sunlight → that’s summer!
✔ Correct answer:
a. summer
---
Q.9 In December it is _____ in Northern Hemisphere.
→ Now the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun → less sunlight → winter!
✔ Correct answer:
b. winter
---
Q.10 In December it is _____ in Southern Hemisphere.
→ When it’s winter up north, it’s summer down south — because the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun.
✔ Correct answer:
a. summer
---
