What else can I help you with?
Why does summer occur in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis isn't in alignment with the sun's axis. Rather it is tilted, so during part of the earths orbit around the sun, the northern hemisphere receives sunlight that is more nearly perpendicular to the earths surface. Then when Earth is on the exact opposite side of the sun the opposite applies. Earths rotation around the sun is completely independent of its daily rotation, so its North to South axis remains in a completely fixed position during its entire rotational cycle. (There is a significant wobble, but it has a period of 26,000 years).
What time is earths facing the sun?
Only at DAYTIME
What makes night?
The earths rotates on it's axis away from the sun.
In winter which end of the earths axis is tilted away from the sun?
south
Why isn't there 2 eclipses every time the moon orbits the earth?
Because the sun, moon and earth are not always in alignment. The moon does not orbit the earth about the earths equator. The earths axis is tilted so the orbit around the sun does not always align with that of the moons orbit around the earth
What two things causes the earths four seasons?
The Earth rotates on its axis causing either the North or South Hemishere to tilt towards the sun which ever hemishere is tilted toward the sun it is probably spring or summer.
As earth spins in space on the side facing the sun it always...?
...experiences daylight, while the side facing away from the sun experiences darkness. This is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis, which causes day and night cycles.
How will the hours of daylight for the North Pole change if the earths axis was always pointed toward the sun South Pole Equator your latitude?
If one end the Earth's axis always pointed toward the sun, then one pole would ALWAYS be in daylight, and the other pole would NEVER see daylight. Which is which would depend on which end of the axis pointed toward the sun. The Earth's "poles" are the ends of its axis of rotation. It's not possible for either end of the axis to point toward the equator or toward my latitude.
What is earths rotation on its axis and the sun shining on the earth creates?
day and night
What is the factor responsible for seasons?
Earths tilted axis and its revolution around the sun
What causes the change from night to day and how long is a day on earth?
Because the earth is revolving the sun and spinning round on its own axis as it turns it will always only have part of it facing the sun so wer the earyh is facing the sun it is light and daytime and wer it isn't facing its dark and therfore nighttime and a day on earth is 24 hours because that's how it takes for the earth to rotate once on its axis
How is the earths axis tilted when the northern hemisphere?
The axis of the Earth is tilted 23.5 degress from the plane of the orbit round the sun.
