    Q1.) What is the difference between rotation and revolution of the Earth?
    Ans. The spinning of the earth on its own axis is called rotation, while the movements of the Earth
    around the Sun is called revolution. Rotation of the Earth causes day and night, while revolution of
    the Earth causes change in seasons.

    Q2.) How does change in seasons take place due to the movement of the Earth?
    Ans. The Earth revolves around the Sun. however during the revolution, the Earth remains tilted
    on its axis at an angle of 23.5o. As a result, at a certain time of year the northern hemisphere is
    bent towards Sun while the southern hemisphere is away from it. The hemisphere which is tilted
    towards the Sun gets the direct Sun rays, so it is warmer. It has Summer. At the same time the
    other hemisphere that is away from the Sun gets slanting Sun rays, so it is cooler. It is winter.

    Q3.) Explain the structure Earth.

    surrounded by an egg white of soft rocks called mantle and on outer hard cover of rocks called
    crust.

    (b) Mantle: - It is the middle layer lying between the crust and the core of the Earth.
    (c) Core: - Core forms the center of the Earth. It is divided into two parts called outer and inner
    core. Its made up of iron and nickel.
