1. Answer the following questions briefly.

(a) What is the angle of inclination of the earth’s axis with its orbital plane?

Answer:

The angle of inclination of the earth’s axis with its orbital plane is 66½°.

(b) Define rotation and revolution.

Answer:

Rotation: The movement of the earth on its axis is called rotation.

Revolution: The movement of the earth around the sun in a fixed path or on an orbit is called Revolution.

(c) What is a leap year?

Answer:

A year which has 366 days instead of 365 days is called a leap year. The earth takes 365¼ days to revolve around the sun. But we consider a year as consisting of 365 days only and ignore six hours for the sake of convenience. These six hours saved every year are added to make one day (24 hours) in four years. This additional day is added to the month of February every fourth year. Thus, in this year, February has 29 days instead of 28 days and the year itself has 366 days.

(e) What is an equinox?
Answer:

On 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 equal nights. This is called an equinox.

(f) Why does the Southern Hemisphere experience Winter and Summer Solstice at different times than that of the Northern Hemisphere?

Answer:

The Earth is always revolving around the sun. The part of the earth which faces the sun experiences summer and the part away from the sun experiences winter.

On 21st June, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun the Southern Hemisphere is away from it. Therefore, the Northern Hemisphere experiences summer solstice while the Southern Hemisphere experiences winter solstice at the same time. On the other hand, on 22nd December, when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the Northern Hemisphere is away from it. Therefore, the Southern Hemisphere experiences summer solstice while Northern Hemisphere experiences winter solstice at this time.

Thus, the Southern Hemisphere experiences Winter and Summer Solstice at different times than that of the Northern Hemisphere.

(g) Why do the poles experience about six months day and six months night?

Answer:

The poles experience about six months of day and six months of night due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. Because of this tilt, each pole is tilted towards and away from the sun for about six months each.
When the North Pole is tilted towards the sun, it experiences continuous daylight for six months. At the same, it is night at the South Pole. These conditions are reversed when the South Pole is tilted towards the Sun.

1. Answer the following questions briefly.

(a) What is the true shape of the earth?

Answer:

The earth is not a perfect sphere. It is slightly flattened at the North and the South Poles and bulge in the middle.

(b) What is a globe?

Answer:

A globe is a miniature model of the Earth.

(c) What is the latitudinal value of the Tropic of Cancer?

Answer:

The latitudinal value of the Tropic of Cancer is 23½° N.

(d) What are the three heat zones of the Earth?

Answer:

The three heat zones of the Earth are:
(i) Torrid Zone

(ii) Temperate Zone

(iii) Frigid Zone

(e) What are the parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude?

Answer:

Parallels of Latitude: These are all the imaginary parallel circles from the equator to the poles.

Meridian of Longitude: These are the imaginary semi-circle lines running from the North Pole to the South Pole.

(f) Why does the torrid zone receive a maximum amount of heat?

Answer:

The torrid zone lies between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. The sun is exactly over the head once a year, on all the latitudes between these two tropics. The sun rays falling exactly overhead gives out more heat than slanting sun rays. Therefore, the torrid zone receives the maximum amount of heat.
(g) Why is it 5.30 p.m. in India and 12.00 noon in London?

Answer:

London is situated at 0° longitude whereas the Indian Standard Meridian is located 82½° east of the Prime Meridian. Thus, between the longitude of London and the Standard Meridian of India, there is a difference of 82½°. Since, each degree of longitudes corresponds to a difference of four minutes, i.e., 1° count for 4 minutes, therefore the Indian Standard Time (IST) is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of GMT followed in London. So, it will be 5:30 p.m. in India, when it is 12:00 noon in London.

2. Tick the correct answers.

(a) The value of the prime meridian is

(i) 90°

(ii) 0°

(c) The total number of longitudes are

(i) 360

(ii) 180

(iii) 90

Answer: (ii) 180

(d) The Antarctic Circle is located in

(i) the Northern hemisphere

(ii) the Southern hemisphere

(iii) the Eastern hemisphere

Answer: (ii) the Southern hemisphere

(e) Grid is a network of

(i) parallels of latitudes and meridians of longitude

(ii) the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn

(iii) the North Pole and the South Pole

Answer: (i) parallels of latitudes and meridians of longitude

3. Fill in the blanks.

(a) The Tropic of Capricorn is located at ___________.

(b) The Standard Meridian of India is ___________.

(c) The 0° Meridian is also known as ___________.

(d) The distance between the longitudes decreases towards___________.

(c) The 0° Meridian is also known as Prime Meridian.

(d) The distance between the longitudes decreases towards the poles.

(e) The Arctic Circle is located in the northern hemisphere.

Exercises

1. Answer the following questions briefly.

(a) How does a planet differ from a star?

Answer
A planet differs from a star in the following ways:

1. They are celestial bodies that have their own light and heat.

2. They are usually smaller than the stars.

Example: Sun

(b) What is meant by the ‘Solar System’?

Answer:

The sun, eight planets, satellites and some other celestial bodies known as asteroids and meteoroids form the solar system.

Answer:

Names of the planets according to their distance from the sun are:

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

(d) Why is the Earth called a unique planet?

Answer:

The earth is called a unique planet due to the following reasons:

It is probably the only planet that has conditions favourable to support life.
It is neither too hot nor too cold. Thus, it has a suitable temperature for life.
It has water and air, which are very essential for survival.

Answer:

The moon moves around the earth in about 27 days and it takes exactly the same time to complete one spin on its axis. That is why we can see only one side of the moon always.

Answer:

The universe is a collection of all planets, stars, galaxies, celestial bodies, gases, dust clouds, light, etc. It is considered as an endless space. We all belong to this universe.
