Question

Which of the following is true about the revolution of the earth around the sun?

Options

• It results in the cycle of seasons

• The direction of motion is the same as rotation

• The speed is not uniform

• All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

1. The revolution of the Earth around the Sun results in the cycle of seasons due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its position in orbit.
2. The direction of motion during revolution is indeed the same as the direction of rotation (both are counter clockwise when viewed from above the North Pole).
3. The speed of revolution is not uniform, as the Earth moves faster when it is closer to the Sun and slower when it is farther away due to its elliptical orbit (according to Kepler's Second Law).
