Saturn
Like Jupiter, Saturn's
atmosphere is made up
mostly of hydrogen and
helium which produces hot
air.

 The Earth’s Structure
The earth is a huge ball of
rock. We live on the outer
surface which is cool and
suitable for life.
 The Earth’s Structure
There are three layers that
make up the Earth’s structure.
They are:
1.The crust
2.The mantle
3.The core
The Earth’s Structure
 The Earth’s Structure
The crust
This is where we
live. It is the thin
outer layer of the
earth.
 The Earth’s Structure
The crust
It is made of huge pieces of
land and solid structures
such as rocks, mountains,
hills, water and ice. 
 The Earth’s Structure
The crust
Beneath the
earth crust are
other layers that
support the
earth.
 The Earth’s Structure
The Mantle
The mantle is the
middle layer
which is very hot
and made up of
molten rocks.
 The Earth’s Structure
The Mantle
The mantle is
found
underneath the
crust. It is the
thickest layer of
the Earth.
 The Earth’s Structure
The Core The core is at the
center of the
Earth. It is divided
into the outer
core and the inner
core.
 The Earth’s Structure
The Core
It is the hottest
part of the earth
surface. It
consists of
metals.
 The Earth’s Structure
The Core
The inner core is
solid, and the
outer core is
liquid.
 The Earth’s Structure
The Core
Molten rock called
magma is
sometimes forced
out of earth.
 The Earth’s Structure
The Core
This hot lava can
cause a lot of
damage. This is
called volcanic
eruption.
 The Earth’s Structure
The Core
Volcanoes are cracks
or holes in the crust
of the earth. Magma is
forced out through
these cracks.
 The Earth’s Structure
The Core The magma that
flows out is called
lava.it is red and
hot and hardens
to form rocks
when it cools off.
 The Earth’s Structure
The Core

The earth is very

hot deep inside.
WRAP UP-Match column A with column B
COLUMN – A COLUMN – B

 How the earth moves
The earth is roughly
spherical in shape. It is always
moving. It spins on its own
and at the same time travels
around the sun.
 How the earth moves

 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth
We have all seen how the Sun rises
in the morning and crosses the sky
during the day and sets in the
evening.
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth
This is how we get day and
night. Do you know that all
these happen due to the
Earth’s rotation? 
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth
Let’s talk about
how Earth’s
rotation takes
place and what
changes occur due
to this.
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth
The spinning
movement of
the earth is
called rotation.
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth

It spins around a
line passing
through its
centre.
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth

It is an
imaginary line
called the axis
of rotation
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth
The axis of
rotation passes
through the north
and south poles
of the earth.
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth

It takes the
earth 24 hours
to complete
one rotation.
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth

Earth’s rotation is
very important to
the life of the earth
and its survival.
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth
Does the Sun move around the
Earth?
Ans = No. The Sun does not move around
the Earth. What happens is, Earth is turning
on its axis and that makes it look as if the
Sun is moving.
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth
Therefore,
the sun
doesn’t
travel across
the sky as
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth
What makes day and night?
The rotation of the earth causes sunrise and
sunset thus, causing day and night

Now lets see how that happens

 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth

The Earth spins (turns or

rotates) on its own axis once
every 24 hours (The Earth
takes 24 hours to completely
rotate on its axis).
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth

That means one

whole day. This
makes day and
night on Earth.
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth
As Earth turns,
half of the Earth
faces the Sun, and
the other half
faces away. 
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth
On the half of the Earth that is
facing the sun is having
daytime. On the half of the
Earth that is facing away from
the sun is having night.
 How the earth moves
Rotation of the earth
When you go to school
during daytime. That
time, the part of the
Earth which you live on
faces the Sun .

Rotation of the earth
When you go to bed at
night. That time, the
part of the Earth which
you live on faces away
from the Sun. Night time

called an orbit.
 How the Earth Moves

As Earth
travels round
the sun,
different parts
of it slant or tilt

terms equator and hemisphere.
