Test: Globes and Maps - 2 - Class 6 MCQ

• 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°.

If the Earth didn't rotate, one side would always have daylight, and the other side would be in constant darkness.

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.

A leap year has 366 days, and an extra day is added to February every four years.

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.

• Equator divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
• Prime Meridian is an imaginary vertical line.
• Longitude measures distance north or south from the Equator.
• Latitude is an imaginary horizontal line.

Standard time is essential for coordination, making it easier to plan activities that span multiple longitudes.
