Consider the following statements:
- Venus and Uranus rotate from east to west (retrograde).
- Because the Earth rotates from west to east on its own axis, we experience different seasons.
- Because of the revolution of the Earth around the Sun, we experience day and night.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Venus and Uranus rotate from east to west (retrograde), so statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is wrong because rotation gives us day and night, not the seasons, which come from the Earth's axial tilt combined with its revolution. Statement 3 is wrong because day and night result from rotation, not revolution. Only statement 1 holds.
