Consider the following statements:
Statement-I:
The Earth rotates around its own axis from west to east in an anticlockwise direction.
Statement-II:
The velocity of the Earth's rotation decreases from the equator to the poles.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Consider the following statements:
1. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun and is twice the distance away from the sun compared to Mercury.
2. Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has a surface that is very cold due to its gaseous composition.
3. Uranus orbits around the sun in a clockwise direction from east to west.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Consider the following statements:
Statement-I:
The duration of daylight at the Tropic of Cancer is 14 hours during the Summer Solstice.
Statement-II:
The duration of daylight at the Equator is 12 hours throughout the year.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Consider the following pairs:
1. Tropic of Cancer - 23.5° North of Equator
2. Tropic of Capricorn - 23.5° South of Equator
3. Arctic Circle - 66.5° South of Equator
4. Antarctic Circle - 66.5° North of Equator
How many pairs given above are correctly matched?
Consider the following statements:
Statement-I:
The light from the nearest star travelling at the speed of light, i.e., 186,000 miles per second, takes approximately 4 years to reach Earth.
Statement-II:
Neptune is much colder than Earth due to its distance from the Sun.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
How does the Earth move in space according to the information provided in the text?
Consider the following statements regarding the Earth's features:
1. The Earth's axis is inclined at 23.5° to the perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic.
2. The Tropic of Cancer receives vertical sunrays at the winter solstice.
3. The length of latitudes decreases from the equator to the poles.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Consider the following statements regarding the winter solstice and the distribution of sunlight across the globe:
1. During the winter solstice, the Earth's axis leans at a maximum of 23.5 degrees in the southern hemisphere towards the sun.
2. On the winter solstice, the sun's rays fall vertically at the Tropic of Cancer.
3. Between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole, the day lasts for 24 hours during the winter solstice.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Consider the following statements:
Statement-I:
In summer, the sun is overhead, and its sunrays fall almost vertically on the Earth, concentrating its heat on a small area. Temperature therefore rises, and summers are always warm.
Statement-II:
In winters, the oblique rays of the sun come through the atmosphere less directly and have their heat absorbed by the atmosphere and water vapor. Sun rays fall obliquely and spread over a greater area, hence temperatures remain low.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
During the winter solstice, what is the duration of daylight at the Tropic of Capricorn?
Consider the following statements:
1. Dawn is the brief period between sunrise and full daylight.
2. Twilight is the period between sunset and complete darkness.
3. The duration of twilight is the same at the equator and the poles.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Consider the following pairs:
1. Winter Solstice: Day lasts for 6 months at the South Pole
2. Equinoxes: Sun's rays are vertical at the Tropic of Cancer on 21 March and 21 September
3. Summer Solstice: Sun's rays fall vertically at the Tropic of Capricorn on 21 June
4. Seasonal Changes: Longer days in summer lead to higher temperatures
