The earth is in constant motion. It rotates and revolves. Which of the following is NOT TRUE of the Earth's motion?
A Due to the revolution of the Earth, we experience seasons.
B The Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours. This causes day and night.
C The rotation of the Earth takes 24 hours and the revolution takes approximately 365 days.
D Without the revolution of the Earth, we would not experience day and night.
it is b bc if it does how will it make sense
I think the right answer is C. Am I correct?
To determine which statement is NOT TRUE about the Earth's motion, let's evaluate each option:
A) Due to the revolution of the Earth, we experience seasons.
This statement is TRUE. The Earth's revolution around the Sun causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, resulting in the changing seasons.
B) The Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours. This causes day and night.
This statement is TRUE. The Earth's rotation on its axis takes approximately 24 hours (or one day), causing the alternation between day and night as different parts of the Earth face towards or away from the Sun.
C) The rotation of the Earth takes 24 hours and the revolution takes approximately 365 days.
This statement is TRUE. The Earth's rotation on its axis indeed takes about 24 hours, and its revolution around the Sun takes approximately 365 days (or one year).
D) Without the revolution of the Earth, we would not experience day and night.
This statement is NOT TRUE. The Earth's rotation on its axis is responsible for the occurrence of day and night. The revolution, on the other hand, contributes to the changing seasons but is not directly linked to day and night.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) Without the revolution of the Earth, we would not experience day and night.
