Which one of the following is not correct about the earth?
Answer: C
The incorrect statement is Rotation is the movement of the earth around the sun.
Rotation is the spinning of the earth on its own axis, which takes about 24 hours and causes day and night. The movement of the earth around the sun in its orbit is revolution, which takes about 365¼ days and, with the tilt of the axis, causes the seasons.
The other three statements are correct. The earth is the third planet from the sun after Mercury and Venus. In size it is the fifth largest planet, after Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Being slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the Equator, its shape is described as a geoid.
