(1) Representing a Sphere on a Map; (2)Solstices and Equinox and (3) The midnight sun
Representing a sphere like the Earth on a flat map is a challenging task because it requires transforming a three-dimensional object into a two-dimensional surface. Here are three main ways to do this: 1. Cylindrical Projection 2. Conical Projection 3. Azimuthal Projection EQUINOXES AND SOLSTICES Equinoxes Solstices These events cause our seasons to change and affect things like

Quiz: Imaginary Lines on the Earth
Imaginary Lines on the Earth Imaginary lines are used in geography to help locate places, measure distances, and understand how the Earth is divided. These lines do not physically exist but are essential for navigation, timekeeping, and mapping. The main imaginary lines on Earth are: 1. The Equator 2. The Prime Meridian 3. Latitudes (Parallels)
The Leap Year
Educational video for kids to learn about the rotation and revolution movements of the earth. Kids will find out what each movement involves, how long the earth takes to spin around the sun or around its axis, how we explain seasons, leap years and lots of other interesting facts.

Classroom excercises
In this video, we explore, What causes the seasons of the year, – spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
