Consider the following statements:
1. The Winter Solstice occurs when the Earth's axis is tilted at its maximum angle of 23.5 degrees towards the Southern Hemisphere, causing the Sun's rays to fall vertically on the Tropic of Capricorn.
2. During the Winter Solstice, the Northern Hemisphere experiences its longest day of the year.
3. At the Equator, the duration of daylight is always 12 hours, regardless of the season.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Consider the following pairs:
1. Rotation of Earth - Earth rotates from east to west.
2. Inclination of Earth's Axis - Earth's axis is inclined at 23.5° to the plane of the elliptic.
3. Velocity of Earth's Rotation - Velocity is highest at the poles and decreases towards the equator.
4. Polestar - The brightest star in the North direction.

What phenomenon occurs during the Summer Solstice?
During which two days of the year is the sun overhead at the equator?
Consider the following statements:
Statement-I:
The light from the nearest star traveling at the speed of light takes about 4 years to reach Earth.
Statement-II:
The Solar System comprises the Sun and 8 planets, with planets revolving around the Sun in elliptical orbits.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Consider the following statements:
1. The axis of Earth's rotation is inclined at 23.5° to a perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic.
2. The velocity of Earth's rotation is greatest at the poles and decreases towards the equator.
3. The weight of a body is greater at the equator than at the poles due to higher centrifugal force at the equator.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
1. The sun is vertically overhead at the equator on two days of the year, usually on 21 March and 21 September.
2. When the sun appears to move north and is vertically overhead at the Tropic of Cancer and the northern hemisphere experience its longest day and shortest night, it is referred to as summer solstice.
Consider the following statements:
Statement-I:
The altitude of the Sun during the Summer Solstice results in longer days in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Earth's axis leaning at its maximum of 23.5 degrees towards the sun.
Statement-II:
Between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole, there are areas where the day lasts for 24 hours, while between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole, there are regions where the night lasts for an equal duration.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Consider the following statements:
1. The Milky Way galaxy contains approximately 100,000 million stars.
2. The planet Venus is located twice the distance from the Sun compared to Earth.
3. Neptune is the outermost planet in the solar system and is much colder than Uranus.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Consider the following statements:
Statement-I:
The earth's axis of rotation is inclined at 66.5 degrees to its plane of the elliptic.
Statement-II:
The earth's axis of rotation is inclined at 23.5 degrees to the perpendicular to the plane of the elliptic.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Consider the following pairs:
1. Winter Solstice: Sun's rays fall vertically at the Tropic of Cancer.
2. Equinox: Sun is vertically overhead at the equator on 21 March and 21 September.
3. Summer Solstice: Sun's rays fall vertically at the Tropic of Capricorn.
4. Winter Season in Southern Hemisphere: The sun is overhead, and days are longer than nights.
