They are much the same.they just differ from the level of understanding 知晓<=了解<懂得<=明白<理解<领悟 知晓 means you know about sth but did not get to know more deeply.just got it... 明白:to understand clearly; to be clear about 理解和了解are verbs. 了解;have a certain understanding and memory of sth 理解:agree on the logic of events and does not rule out a personal experience, but mainly to recognize the logic of events. 领悟:have a true grasp. Like Insight into the wonders of the universe, understanding the true meaning of life and enhance the spiritual realm, etc.it is a very high level of understand.

领悟：体会,解悟 了解：知道得清楚,用于感性、直观的事物,“了解”是需要时间和过程的. 理解：一般用于抽象事物，指理性认识 明白：是自己想通了某个问题或听别人说某个问题而导致你想通了。 注:“理解”和“明白”我认为很接近，很多时候可以互用，但理解在明白的基础还含着同情、原谅等情绪。所以在某种语境中理解和明白又不能混用了。如：虽然这次你伤害了我，但我可以理解你！ 这是一种在明白之后的理解和原谅！ 懂得：是更深层的明白 知晓：知道 I hope the answer can help you .

Dear,Jenny; Great,1-4 of your examples is very correct . I think 5,should be 你长大了，应该懂得你父母有很多负担， 别那么任性。 因为，如果懂得后面跟一个名词，通常这个名词是意思或者是某人的话，如果是跟的是一个道理或者事情，一般要是一个句子 ex.我懂得你说的意思。（I understand what you mean） ex.我懂得养大一个孩子是很辛苦的。(I understand that it is very hard to raise a child.)
