The Earth is constantly in motion. It performs two main types of movement. One is called rotation and other is called revolution. The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes day and night. On the other hand the revolution of the Earth around the Sun leads to the changing seasons. Though these movements of the earth is not easily noticed in our daily life but it has profound effects on climate, time, and life on Earth. Understanding these motions helps us grasp fundamental concepts in geography and astronomy.
Here there are 20 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) on Motions of the Earth and Their Effects, which may be the beneficial for the any competitive or school exam.
