The correct answer is option 2, which includes statements 1 and 2.
Statement 1: Without the Earth`s rotational movement, there would be no sunrise and sunset. This is because the rotation of the Earth is what causes the apparent movement of the Sun across the sky, resulting in the daily cycle of day and night. If the Earth stopped rotating, the Sun would appear to be in a fixed position in the sky, and there would be no noticeable change in light levels throughout the day.
Statement 2: Without the Earth`s rotational movement, there would be no occurrence of the day and night cycle. As mentioned earlier, the rotation of the Earth causes the Sun to appear to rise in the east and set in the west, resulting in the alternating periods of daylight and darkness. Without this rotation, the Sun would always be in the same position in the sky, resulting in a constant state of either daylight or darkness.
Statement 3 is not correct as it states that there would only be one season. The Earth`s rotation is not directly responsible for the change in seasons, as that is caused by the tilt of the Earth`s axis in relation to its orbit around the Sun. Therefore, even without the Earth`s rotational movement, the tilt would still cause the
