Is it true seasons are a result of earth's tilted orbit?
No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted. Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets. What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.
How can seasons be explained in terms of motion?
The axis of the earth is tilted in the plane of its orbit. As the earth orbits the sun, the axis is tilted toward the sun and away from the sun and this creates the seasons.
What are the reasons that seasons occur in the US?
the Earth rotates on an axis, that axis is tilted with respect to the axis of Earth's orbit, and Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical.
What is caused by your tilted axis and your orbit?
The seasons are caused by the tilted axis and orbit. The axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane.
What would happen if the path of a satellite if its orbit was tilted more?
If its orbit is tilted relative to the equator,it will move over different parts of the earth.
What causes your planet to have sesons?
The Earth has seasons because it polar axis is tilted relative to its orbit.
Seasons occur because earth's axis is tilted what degree from perpendicular to its plane of orbit?
23.5°
What is the earths axis and orbit?
No, it is not. It is tilted in comparison to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This is why we have different times of seasons in the northern and southern hemisphere.
Why autumn and spring seasons occur in opposite hemispheres alternately?
Because - the Earth is tilted on its axis - by about 11 degrees. This means that, when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away. This - combined with the position of the sun in its orbit around the Sun - creates our seasons.
Why do Seasonal change?
Seasons change because the Earth revolves around the sun in a period of one year; you have the southern hemisphereand the northen hemisphere of the Earth. Earth is tilted with respect to its orbit around the sun. So when our North Pole is tilted toward the sun, we get summer in the Northern Hemisphere (winter in the south). When the South Pole is tilted toward the sun, we get winter. So if a planet is tilted with respect to its orbit around the sun, it should have seasons
Seasons happen because of earth's orbit and the?
distance to the sun.
What kind of movement is it when the earth changes seasons?
Movement of a sphere, with a tilted axis, in its orbit, around its primary star.
