• Rotation is Earth's movement on its axis.
• Revolution is movement around the sun.
• Axial tilt is the tilt of Earth's axis at 66½°.

The tilt of Earth's axis is approximately 23.5 degrees, leading to the changing seasons.

The Equator is associated with latitude, and the Prime Meridian is associated with longitude.

• Equinox is associated with equal days and nights.
• Solstice is associated with different seasons.
• Revolution is the movement of Earth around the Sun.
• Axial tilt causes extreme points in Earth's tilt.

Indian Standard Time (IST) is based on the standard meridian at 82.5 degrees East.

Longitude is related to time, and latitude is related to the distance north or south from the Equator.

• Maps are essential spatial tools that help us way-find or navigate the world or to find the locations of different place.
• They also help us learn about and to analyze various places and situations affecting our world.
• Maps help us to convey information and to tell stories in a visual way.

• Equator divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
• Prime Meridian is an imaginary vertical line.

• Latitude is an imaginary horizontal line.

An atlas is a special book full of different maps. You can find maps that show countries, cities, roads, and more in an atlas. It helps us learn about different places and how to find them on a map.

• The imaginary line on which the Earth rotates is called the Axis. Just like a stick through a rotating toy, the Earth spins around this line.
• It has two ends, like the top and bottom of a ball. At the top, it's called the North Pole, and at the bottom, it's called the South Pole.
• This line helps us understand how the Earth moves and why we have day and night.
