The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (c)
The Earth completes one “rotation” every twenty four hours. A rotation is when the planet spins around once. The Earth rotates counter-clockwise; this is why the Sun “rises” in the east and “sets” in the west. Revolution is when one object completes a circular path around another object.
The Earth takes 365.24 days to revolve around the Sun. This is why a year is 365 days long. During the year the Earth is angled differently towards the Sun.
These changing angles provide us with different Sun intensities and therefore we get four different seasons.

This is the northern solstice in the northern hemisphere and the southern solstice in the southern hemisphere. Depending on the shift of the calendar, the summer solstice occurs sometime between June 20 and June 22 in the northern hemisphere and between December 20 and December 23 each year in the southern hemisphere.
