- The document discusses various concepts related to the Earth's movement and seasons including its rotation on its axis as it revolves around the sun, the solstices when the Earth is closest and farthest from the sun, the tilt of the Earth's axis, equinoxes when day and night are equal lengths, and the prime meridian used as the basis for determining time zones. - Key terms and events mentioned include the solstices in January and July, the tilt of the Earth's axis at 23.5 degrees, the summer and winter solstices in June and December, and the vernal and autumnal equinoxes in March and September when day and night are equal lengths.

5. - it is the uniform spinning of
the Earth on its axis as it revolves

24. - means the angle of tilting of the
earth’s axis from the line perpendicular
to the plane of its orbit 23 ¼ degrees.

28. It occurs once a year in December
when the Sun’s track across the
Australian reaches its highest point. It is
the day that has the most daylight hours
of any in the year.

29. -It occur during September when the

and night and this is call the equinox.

30. It is the day of the year that has the
least daylight hours of any in the year and
usually occurs on June 21 but can occur

31. In this period the sun rays are directly

Northern Hemisphere. The Earth

night and also called Equinox.

32. it is the equal distribution of the
length of day and night.

Meridian or 0 degrees as agreed upon the
International conference in Washington DC
IN 1884.

37. In his Cosmographical (1595) uses
prime meridian, then they can be called
Eastern Hemisphere and Western
Hemisphere.

meridian in a
360 degrees-
system (form
a great circle).
