Question

Accepted Answer

Answers to various geography-related questions for a Geography Teacher interview.

1. The orbital plane is the flat plane in which a celestial body orbits around another. Earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees from its orbital plane.
2. Gravitational force is more at the poles because the poles are closer to the center of the Earth where gravity is strongest.
3. Latitude and longitude are imaginary lines used to locate positions on Earth's surface. Latitude runs east-west and measures north-south position, while longitude runs north-south and measures east-west position.
4. Earth's rotation refers to its spinning on its axis, causing day and night. Earth's revolution refers to its orbit around the Sun, causing seasons.
5. India experiences three main seasons: summer, monsoon, and winter.
6. Winter solstice is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring around December 21st. Summer solstice is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring around June 21st.
