What causes seasons tides eclipses and phases of the moon?
Season result from the tilt of the earth in relation to the sun. Tides are caused (mainly) by the gravitational pull of the moon. An eclipse is a shadow, cast by the earth onto the moon, or a shadow of the moon cast on the earth. The phases of the moon are the part of the moon visible to the earth that is illuminated by the sun.
Does the moon tilt on its axis?
yes it tilts at about 7 degrees. 23 degrees is the tilt of earth axis.
Was the moon always there up in space?
No. A big asteroid hit the Earth and broke off a chunk of it early in Earth's history. That chunk became the moon. The same collision is responsible for the tilt in Earth's axis that causes the seasons to change.
Do the phases of the moon cause seasons?
No. The phases of the moon are completely unrelated to the seasons. The seasons are caused by the tilt of earth's axis of rotation.
What causes the phase of the moon to change?
The moon spins
What tilt is the moon on?
none
Property of earth which causes seasons?
The Earth's rotational axial tilt causes the seasons.
What effects does the earths tilt on its axis have on your daily life?
The earth's axis is an explanation of the tilt towards the sun. Currently the earth's axial tilt is approximately 23.44°. It is believed that past ice ages started when the axial tilt changed. The tilt is regulated by our moon. Without the moon, the earth would experince very significant differences in axis tilt over time which would make life on earth impossible.
What does the earths tilt do normally?
The Earth's tilt is what causes the seasons.
What is it about the earth that causes seaaons?
It's tilt The tilt of its axis
Why is the tilt on earth's axis important?
This tilt is what causes the seasons.
Does the Moon's movements around earth have anything to do with the seasons of the year?
Tides yes, seasons no. The Earths tilt causes the seasons as we orbit the sun.
What is the moon's axial tilt?
It is 6.687°
What causes the tilt on axis?
For the Earth, there are many theories, but the one that is accepted is that millions of years ago a meteorite hit the earth at an angle, causing it to tilt. It is also possible that the moon was formed by the debris that shot out of the earth when the meteorite hit it.
How would you describe what causes the seasons?
its earths tilt on its axis orbiting the sun
Can the world tilt?
The world does tilt. It is tilted at about 23.5°. This causes the seasons on our planet.
What causes the unevening of the Earth?
The earth's tilt causes an uneven heating of the earth. The uneven heating due to the tilt causes the different seasons throughout the year.
