Solution

The correct option is D

Both the statements are correct


Earth is rotating about its axis through its North and South Pole. It takes 24 hours in one rotation. The day and night occurs due to its rotation. The axis of rotation of the earth is slightly rotated with respect to the plane of its orbit around the sun. Further the tilting of the rotation of the earth is always in same direction. The earth completes one revolution around the sun in 365.25 days. As a result the tilting of the northern and southern hemispheres of the earth towards the sun keeps on changing throughout the year.
