Answer»

i. The apparent movement of the sun due to the inclination of axis is the reasons for the occurrence of different seasons. The sun’s rays fall vertically over one hemisphere during one half of the year and on the other hemisphere during the other half. When the sun rays fall vertically in the Northern Hemisphere, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Similarly, when the sun rays fall vertically over the Southern Hemisphere, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere and winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

ii. Reasons for the occurrence of seasons:

  • Earth’s revolution 
  • Inclination of axis 
  • Migration of the sun
