Explain the difference in the earths climate change when the earths orbit changes from elliptical to circular?
Earth's eccentricity Eccentricity is defined as the difference in shape between an ellipse and a perfect circle. In a similar fashion to Earth's obliquity, the more uniform Earth's orbit is (more like a perfect circle), the less difference there is in climate change throughout the year.
What is the lenghth of earths year?
the length of earths year is 365 days, tho its not really hahaha
How earths distance from the sun change throughout the year?
how does earths distance from the sun change throughout the year
What cause the seasons on the earth in a easy way to explain?
Assume your in the northern hemisphereThe earths rotational axis remains parallel throughout the year, winter is when the top of the axis is at full tilt away from the sun, summer is full tilt towards( half a year later)
Why is it hard to read a compass when standing at one of the earths poles?
Because the earths magnetic poles move around from year to year, and even day to day.
What year was earths first year celebrated?
1970 April 22nd 1970
Another name for the earths orbital period?
The year.
What is one revolution of the earths around the sun?
A year.
What is happening on the Earth during a solitice?
The earths rotational axis is tipped 23.5 degrees from vertical The earths rotational axis remains parallel throughout its orbit of the sun, so at one point in the yearly orbit the top half of the axis is at maximum tilt away from the sun, this is the winter solstice / shortest day (northern hemisphere) and summer solstice / longest day (southern hemisphere) Half a year later the positions are reversed as the axis remains parallel leaving the top of the axis tilting in.
Why is mars year longer than earths year?
takes longer to orbit the sun
Where is the sun in a equinox?
Its the orientation of the earths rotational axis that defines the equinox, the axis remains parallel throughout the orbit of the sun, and when its side on to the sun (spring and autumn), thats the equinox (equal length of day and night).
What is earths length year?
Roughly 365.23 days. (rounded)
