GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The earth rotates on its axis taking approximately 24 hours to complete one rotation. This has important environmental consequences. 1. Rotation creates a diurnal cycle of light and darkness, temperature, and humidity changes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Once every 24 hours Earth turns-or rotates on its axis-taking all of us with it. When we are on the side of Earth that is facing the Sun, we have daylight. As Earth continues its spin, we are moved to the side facing away from our Sun, and we have nighttime.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Short Answer: Earth’s tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun’s most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -Effects of Rotation of the Earth The spinning of the earth on its axis causes days to turn into nights. A difference of one hour is created between two meridians which are 15 degrees apart. A change in the direction of wind and ocean currents. The rise and fall of tided every day.
