What else can I help you with?
What is an important factor in explaining why seasons occur on Earth Earth rotates on its axis The Sun rotates on its axis Earth's axis is tilted The Sun's axis is tilted?
The seasons are caused by the fact that the Earth's axis is tilted. As the Earth travels around the sun, the hemisphere that is tilted toward the sun changes. Whenever your hemisphere is pointed toward the sun, it is summer in your hemisphere.
Why do you have seasonal changes?
Seasonal changes occur because the earth is tilted so when it orbits the sun the earth is facing the sun in a different position.
What could not occur if the Earth was not tilted?
If the Earth was not tilted, we would not experience seasons as we do now. The angle of the Earth's axial tilt relative to its orbit around the sun is what causes the variation in temperature and daylight that we experience throughout the year. Without this tilt, the climate would be much more consistent across the entire planet.
Why does summer occur in earth northern hemisphere when earth north pole is tilted toward the sun?
It is summer because that part of the earth is tilted towards the sun and it gets more heat.
Why don't we get a lunar eclipse every new moon?
Lunar eclipse occur when the moon passes through the Earth's umbra (shadow). This means that the Earth must be in between the Sun and the Moon. Due to the movement of the Earth around the Sun, this can only occur at specific points in time, as the Earth wobbles on its axis, in addition to being tilted on its axis in relation to the solar plane (the path which the Earth travels around the Sun). Since the Earth's axis is tilted out of plane (i.e. not perpendicular or straight up and down to the solar plane) the Moon orbits Earth at an angle out of solar plane. Because of the different speeds invovled, the Moon aligns with the Earth and Sun in the proper configuration infrequently, but it is possible to calculate when the event will occur.
How are solstice and equainoxes different?
answer will vary but should mention that solstice are the extreme and equainoxes are the average in term of the angle of earth in relationship to the sun.solstice occur when earth's pole are their farthest or closest angle to the sun while equainoxes occur when the poles are equidistent form the sun.
What causes different seasons to occur?
earth's orbit around the sun The earth's axis is tilted by 23.45 degrees and this means that different parts of the globe receive varying amounts of sunlight during the year, creating the seasons
Seasons occur because earth's axis is tilted what degree from perpendicular to its plane of orbit?
23.5°
How are tilted rock layers?
Tilted rock layers occur when geological forces, such as tectonic activity, cause the Earth's crust to deform. This can result in sedimentary rock layers being pushed up or tilted from their original horizontal position. The angle of the tilt can vary significantly, depending on the intensity of the forces involved. Over time, erosion may expose these tilted layers, revealing the history of geological events in the area.
Why does the northern hemisphere winter not occur when the earth is farthest form the sun at aphelion?
Seasons are not controlled by the distance from the sun, but by the tilt of the earth in relation to the sun. Tilted away, cooler. Tilted towards, warmer.
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.
Do seasonal temperatures occur on Neptune?
I was searching this up and i think it does occur on Neptune because it's axis is tilted almost like Earth's.
