Each item is a true or false statement. The season question is about Earth’s tilted axis. The thunder question is about the sound of air heated by a lightning channel, not about a separate kind of storm.
Each explanation names the public reference checked on 6 October 2026. The quiz is for entertainment and does not compare your score with anyone else. It also does not ask you to guess how an average person would do. Read the wording with care. There is no time limit. Take the questions one at a time.
