The correct answer is 1, 2 and 3

/hint -  

​The Earth rotates around an imaginary line that passes between the planet's north and south poles. This line is called the rotation axis.

/imp

• Just as the top spins around its spindle, the planet spins around its axis. This rotating activity is called the rotation of the Earth. It also circles or revolves around the Sun at the same time as the Earth turns on its axis. 
• In approximately twenty-four hours, the planet turns constantly on its axis once, which is called Rotation. The Earth's axis is perpendicular to the orbital plane at an angle of 23.5 degrees. This tilting of the axis of the earth is known as the axis of the earth's inclination.
• The world gets its heat and light from the sun. One half of it, facing the sun, is illuminated as the earth rotates on its axis.

/key

• Darkness is the other half that remains. Thus, for a certain time, each part of the earth's surface enters the sunlight and then turns away from it within 24 hours.
• One revolution is achieved by the Earth in about 365 days and 6 hours. 
• For particles in the lower region of the magnetosphere, the Earth's rotation is significant. This area is called the plasmasphere, dominated by the dipole field and occupied mainly by ionospheric plasmas.
