Question 1.
\nWhat is a globe?
\nAnswer:
\nGlobe is a true model of the Earth.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nWhat are the movements of the Earth?
\nAnswer:
\nRotation and Revolution are the movements of the Earth.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nWhich movement of the Earth causes Day and Night?
\nAnswer:
\nRotation of the Earth causes Day and Night.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nWhat happens when the Earth rotates?
\nAnswer:
\nDuring rotation, half portion of the Earth receives Sun\u2019s rays and the remaining half portion remains in darkness.<\/p>\n

Question 5.
\nDefine the Earth\u2019s Rotation and Revolution.
\nAnswer:
\nRotation: Planet Earth rotates around itself on its own axis. This movement is called Rotation.
\nRevolution: Planet Earth rotates around the Sun. This movement is called Revolution.<\/p>\n

Question 6.
\nWhat is the true shape of the Earth?
\nAnswer:
\nThe Earth is round in shape. The Earth is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges in the middle or at the equator.<\/p>\n

Question 7.
\nWhich Latitude is known as the Tropic of Cancer?
\nAnswer:
\nThe latitude which is located at 23\\(\\frac{1}{2}\\)\u00b0 north of the equator is known as the Tropic of Cancer.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

Question 8.
\nRead the Paragraph under the title \u2018Equinox\u2019 and comment on it.
\nOn 21st March and September 23rd direct rays of the Sun fall on the equator. At this position, neither of the poles is tilted towards the Sun. So, the whole earth experiences equal days and nights. This is called an equinox.
\nOn 23rd September, it is autumn season in the Northern Hemisphere and spring season in the Southern Hemisphere. The opposite is the case on 21st March when it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Thus, you find days and nights and changes in the seasons because of the rotation and revolution of the earth.
\nAnswer:
\nOn 21st March and 23rd, September Sun\u2019s rays fall directly on the Equator. So we experience equal day and night on both these days. This is called equinox. On 21st March it is autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere. Because of Earth\u2019s rotation, half portion of the Earth receives Sun\u2019s rays and the remaining half remains in darkness. So we find changes on Earth because of Earth\u2019s rotation and revolution.<\/p>\n

Question 9.
\nCreate a table and list out the similarities and differences between Latitudes and Longitudes.
\nAnswer:
\nSimilarities between latitudes and longitudes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Latitudes and longitudes are both artificial.<\/li>\n
  2. Latitudes and Longitudes are both invisible lines.<\/li>\n
  3. Latitude is based on the 0\u00b0 latitude while longitude is based on Greenwich.<\/li>\n
  4. They both help us to locate a place on earth<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Latitudes<\/td>\nLongitudes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    1) Latitudes are the horizontal lines.<\/td>\n1) Longitudes are vertical lines<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    2) Lines of latitudes are parallel to the equator.<\/td>\n2) Lines of longitude are not parallel and come to a singular point.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    3) Latitudes lines run in the East and West directions.<\/td>\n3) Longitude lines run in the North to South direction.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    Question 10.
    \nIf India has day, it is night in America. What is the reason for this difference?
    \nAnswer:
    \nThe part of the Earth that faces the Sun gets illuminated and experiences the day. The opposite part of the earth that does not face the Sun, experiences night. As India is opposite to America the difference in day and night occurs.<\/p>\n

    Question 11.
    \nTake a ball and draw the latitudes and longitudes on the surface.

    Question 12.
    \nPrepare a note on the difference between a globe and an atlas.
    \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. A globe is a three-dimensional sphere. An atlas is two-dimensional.<\/li>\n
    2. A globe represents the whole earth. An atlas represents the whole earth or a part of it.<\/li>\n
    3. A globe can be used to get a broad-level picture of the world. An atlas provides more specific information about different places.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Question 13.
      \nFind out the latest leap year and the coming leap year.
      \nAnswer:
      \nThe present year 2020 is a leap year. 2024 is the coming leap year.<\/p>\n

      Question 14.
      \nWhat preparations should be taken to watch a solar eclipse safely?
      \nAnswer:
      \nThe Sun outputs more power than our eye is designed and so it damages the retina. So we should not watch the Sun or the solar eclipse directly. We should use special-purpose solar filters, such as eclipse glasses to watch Solar eclipses safely. Projecting the Sun through a box projector is another safe way to watch the solar eclipse.<\/p>\n

      Question 15.
      \nIt is difficult to understand the geographical location, time, and distance in the absence of the imaginary lines – latitudes and longitudes. Appreciate the design of the imaginary lines of latitudes and longitudes.
      \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Latitudes are used to define the North-South position of a location on the planet.
        \nThe general climatic division of a place can be studied with the help of latitudes.<\/li>\n
      2. Longitudes are used to define the East-West position of a location on the planet. Longitudes also help us to calculate the time of a particular place.<\/li>\n
      3. If the latitude and longitude are known any position on earth can be located. Even- though, longitudes and latitudes are imaginary lines they play an important role.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        So we should appreciate the design of the imaginary lines of the latitudes and longitudes.<\/p>\n

        Question 16.
        \nVenu met some children from different cities at a youth festival. They were: Geethika, John, Nihal, and Uma. Venu collected some information about their cities.
        \nVenu has given us certain clues. Can you find out the cities with the help of an Atlas?<\/p>\n

            Question 17.
            \nIf an astronaut from a spaceship looks down at the Earth, can he\/she see the rotation of the earth?
            \nAnswer:
            \nYes. From a spaceship, an astronaut can see the rotation of the earth. Spaceships move around the Earth at a different speed. So the astronaut can see the Earth\u2019s rotation.<\/p>\n

            Question 18.
            \nWhy can\u2019t we sense the rotation and revolution of the Earth?
            \nAnswer:
            \nThe Earth is moving at a fixed speed and we are also moving along with it at the same speed. That is why we can\u2019t sense the Earth\u2019s spin. If Earth\u2019s spin changes we would definitely sense it. If we are in a car that is moving at a constant speed on a smooth surface, we will not know that we are moving. However, when the car accelerates or when the brakes are applied, we will feel the motion. Another example is, we can drink coffee or tea on a moving train which is moving at a constant speed* because we are traveling by train at the same speed. If the speed of the train changes we can\u2019t drink. The spin of Earth doesn\u2019t make those kinds of changes. So we can\u2019t sense the rotation and revolution of the Earth.<\/p>\n

            \nHow does the earth rotate and revolve without any needle, unlike the Globe? Discuss with the teacher.
            \nAnswer:
            \nOur Solar System formed about 4.6 billion years ago when a huge cloud of gas and dust started to collapse under its own gravity. As the cloud collapsed, it started to spin. The Solar system is made up of the Sun and everything that orbits around it includes the planets and their moons as well as numerous asteroids, meteoroids, and comets. Without any unbalanced forces acting on them, the tremendous gravity of the Sun and the planets have kept them rotating for billions of years. Either the Earth or any other planet does not have any needle to rotate or to revolve.<\/p>\n

            \nAnswer:
            \nThe equator is the largest circle and divides the globe into two equal halves. So it is at the center of the Earth. Circles of latitude are all great circles with the center of Earth in the middle. The circles of latitude get smaller as the distance from the Equator increases. So the latitudes get smaller towards the poles. The Equator is the biggest latitude.<\/p>\n
