3. What is rotation? What is revolution?
Rotation vs. Revolution
Rotation:
• Definition: Rotation is the spinning of the Earth on its own axis.
• Effect: It causes day and night.
• Time Taken: The Earth completes one full rotation in 24 hours (1 day).
• Example: When the Earth rotates, the side facing the Sun experiences day, while the opposite side has night.
Revolution:
• Definition: Revolution is the movement of the Earth around the Sun in an elliptical orbit.
• Effect: It causes seasons (summer, winter, spring, autumn).
• Time Taken: The Earth completes one full revolution in 365¼ days (1 year).
• Example: Different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to seasonal changes.
Key Differences Between Rotation and Revolution:
Feature Rotation Revolution What it does Earth spins on its axis Earth moves around the Sun Causes Day and night Seasons Time Taken 24 hours (1 day) 365¼ days (1 year) Axis or Orbit? Spins around its axis Moves in an elliptical orbit around the Sun II. Questioning and Hypothesis

Here are the answers to the “Improve Your Learning” section from the lesson “Earth to Space” for Class 5 EVS.
I. Conceptual Understanding
1. What are the differences between latitudes and longitudes?
• Latitudes:
• These are horizontal imaginary lines on the globe.
• They run parallel to the Equator.
• They help in measuring distances north or south of the Equator.
• Longitudes:
• These are vertical imaginary lines on the globe.

2. What do you know about the globe?
• The globe is a miniature model of the Earth.
• It shows continents, oceans, countries, and important geographical locations.
• It helps in understanding latitudes, longitudes, and Earth’s rotation.
• The globe is useful in learning about climate zones, time zones, and different regions of the world.
3. What is the shape of the Earth?
• The Earth is round (spherical) in shape.
• Though the Earth looks flat in small areas, satellite images confirm that it is round.
• Ferdinand Magellan’s voyage around the world proved that the Earth is not flat.
• The shadow of the Earth on the Moon during a lunar eclipse is always circular, further proving its round shape.
II. Questioning and Hypothesis
4. What will happen if the Earth stops its rotation?
• There will be no day and night cycle; one side of the Earth will have continuous daylight and the other side will have continuous darkness.
• Gravity and atmospheric conditions will change, leading to severe natural disasters.
• Oceans and winds will stop moving in their normal patterns, causing climate changes and extreme weather.
• The Earth’s magnetic field may weaken, exposing us to harmful space radiation.
III. Experiments and Field Observations
5. Prepare a model of the solar system and explain it.
• Take balls of different sizes to represent the planets.
• Use a large yellow ball to represent the Sun.

Mangalyaan (Mars Orbiter Mission) 2013 India’s first mission to Mars, studied Mars’ surface and atmosphere. Chandrayaan-2 2019 India’s second Moon mission with an orbiter, lander (Vikram), and rover (Pragyan). V. Drawing and Model Making
7. Draw latitudes and longitudes on a ball and explain them.
• Steps:
1. Draw horizontal lines (latitudes) parallel to the Equator.
2. Draw vertical lines (longitudes) from the North Pole to the South Pole.
3. Mark the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) and the Equator (0° latitude).
4. Label important latitudes like Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Arctic Circle, and Antarctic Circle.
VI. Appreciation, Values, Application to Daily Life, Biodiversity
8. Why is Earth the only habitat for human beings?
• Earth has oxygen and an atmosphere, which are essential for life.
• It has liquid water, necessary for drinking and survival.
• Earth has a moderate temperature that allows humans, animals, and plants to thrive.
• The protective ozone layer shields us from harmful radiation.
• Gravity holds everything in place and makes life possible.
• No other planet in our solar system has these perfect conditions for human survival.
These answers help students understand Earth’s features, space, satellites, and the importance of the planet in supporting life.

Andhra Pradesh | APSCERT
Home » Solutions » Class 5 » EVS Textbook Solutions » Chapter 10: The Journey of India for Freedom
Here are the answers to the “Improve your Learning” section from the lesson “The Journey of India for Freedom”:
I. Conceptual Understanding
1. Explain what would have happened if freedom fighters had not sacrificed their lives for us?
If freedom fighters had not sacrificed their lives, India would still be under British rule. Indians would not have the rights and independence they enjoy today. The country’s progress in various fields such as education, economy, and technology would have been hindered.
2. Write a brief note on the Indian freedom movement.
The Indian freedom movement was a long struggle against British rule. It began with early revolts like the 1857 Rebellion, followed by the formation of the Indian National Congress in 1885. Mahatma Gandhi led non-violent movements like the Non-Cooperation Movement (1920), Salt Satyagraha (1930), and Quit India Movement (1942). Finally, India gained independence on August 15, 1947.
3. Name some of the freedom fighters you know.
Some of the notable freedom fighters are:
• Mahatma Gandhi (led non-violent movements)
• Subhas Chandra Bose (led the Indian National Army)

• Jawaharlal Nehru (India’s first Prime Minister)
• Dr. B.R. Ambedkar (drafted the Indian Constitution)
II. Questioning and Hypothesis
4. What would have happened if Mahatma Gandhi had not arrived in India from South Africa?
If Mahatma Gandhi had not returned from South Africa, India’s independence struggle might have taken a different course. His principles of non-violence and civil disobedience played a crucial role in uniting people against British rule. Without him, movements like the Salt Satyagraha and Quit India Movement might not have happened.
III. Experiments and Field Observations
5. Why do people install statues?
People install statues to honor great personalities who contributed to society. Statues remind us of their sacrifices, inspire future generations, and preserve history.
