Do we have seasons because earth is closer to the sun?
We do not have seasons because the earth is closer to the sun, we have seasons because the earth's axis rotation determines the amount of sunlight we get each day.
Why does the position of stars seem to change as seasons change?
The earth is rotating around the sun. Therefore the position of other stars (although millions of light years away) are in different orientation to that of the earth.
What can determine moon phase?
The position of the earth and moon on their orbit around the sun, determines how much and what area of the moon is lit by sunlight. The moon's phases are what we can view from the earth.
Where is the position of the earth sun in January if the earth rotated anti clockwise?
The Earth normally rotates anticlockwise as seen from the north. If you mean 'if the Earth rotates the opposite way', then its position in January (relative to the Sun) could be the same. The four seasons would also be roughly the same.
What characteristic of earth results in different seasons over a period of a year?
Axial Tilt of 23.5 deg. (possibly cause by impact wich also might be the mechanism that created the moon aswell as our iron core, and subsequently our magnetoshpere), with said tilt, as the earth orbits the sun, different parts of the earth experience different length in day, depending on Time of year (position of earth) subsequently, the amount of light received thru-out the day over relative long periods of time, cause the phenomena known as seasons.
What determines the length one day on earth?
the time it takes the earth to spin around on its axis
Do we have seasons because earth is closer to the sun?
We do not have seasons because the earth is closer to the sun, we have seasons because the earth's axis rotation determines the amount of sunlight we get each day.
What determines the length of night Earth?
The length of night and day depends on how fast a body like Earth is spinning. Of curse, the body's tilt with respect to its star - Sun in Earth's case - continually alters the lengths of days and nights according to the 4 seasons.
What is determined by the earth's revolution and angle of tilt?
The length of the day and the length of the seasons
Are seasons caused by sunspots?
No. Seasons are caused by Earth's tilt and position towards the Sun.
What determines the length of night on earth?
Depends on where you are (latitude) and the time of year.
What is the position of the earth if it undergo four seasons?
so we can live on earth. and live with changes.
Can you still have seasons if there is no moon?
Yes, the seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth and it's position around the sun.
How do seasons occur with regard of the rotation of the earth?
It is due to the position of the Warth
What if the earth wasent tilted?
There would be no seasons, and no change in the length of day and night, anywhere on Earth.
What determines the length of a day on earth?
the time it takes the earth to spin around on its axis
How earth's orbit around the sun determines the seasons of earth?
they are not determined they are a leeway so that is a rough estimate so we dont know the actual seasons.
