Let's solve the worksheet step by step and explain each answer.

1. What do we call the movement of Earth on its axis?
Options:
- Rotation
✔
- Revolution
Explanation:
The movement of Earth spinning around its own axis is called
rotation.
-
Rotation = spinning on its axis (causes day and night).
-
Revolution = orbiting around the Sun (takes about 365 days, causes seasons).
✔ Correct answer: Rotation

2. What happens when the Earth rotates on its axis?
Options:
- Day and night
✔
- Winter, spring, summer and fall
Explanation:
As Earth rotates, different parts face the Sun. When a part faces the Sun, it's
daytime. When it turns away, it's
nighttime. This rotation creates the cycle of
day and night.
The changing seasons (winter, spring, summer, fall) are caused by Earth’s
tilt and
revolution around the Sun, not just rotation.
✔ Correct answer: Day and night

3. How long does one rotation on Earth’s axis take?
Options:
- 24 hours, or 1 day
✔
- 12 months
Explanation:
Earth completes one full rotation on its axis in approximately
24 hours, which is why we have a 24-hour day.
-
12 months is the time for one full revolution around the Sun (one year).
✔ Correct answer: 24 hours, or 1 day
---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
Rotation
2.
Day and night
3.
24 hours, or 1 day
These answers match the scientific facts shown in the image and explained in the text.
Great job! 🌍☀️🌙
