Match column A and column B. Column A Column B (i) Earth a. Day and night (ii) Axis b. Fixed path (iii) Rotation c. Spherical (iv) Orbit d. Imaginary line

(i) - c The earth is in a spherical shape. It is like a ball. It looks flat as we see a tiny part of it from the ground level. All planets of the solar system and large satellites too are spherical in shape. (ii) - d The imaginary line around which planets like Earth rotate is called the axis. It passes through the centre of the Earth and the two poles. (iii) - a The rotation of earth around the axis is called day and night. It completes one rotation in about 24 hours. (iv) - b An orbit is a fixed path in which the planets move around the sun, or satellites move around their planets. Column A Column B (i) Earth c. Spherical (ii) Axis d. Imaginary line (ii) Rotation a. Day and night (ii) Orbit b. Fixed path
