No, it isn't. It's the ball of rock itself, the earth. We got "lithos" from the Greek for stone. The lithosphere is the stone sphere, or the earth.

How do you demonstrate seasons I am doing a weather project and one of the tasks is to come up with a presentation and or demonstartion on seasons So the question is How do you demonstate season?

The seasons are caused by the rotational tilt of the Earth. Instead of pointing straight up and down, perpendicular to the sun's equator, the Earth's poles are tilted at a 23-degree angle. This means that at certain times of year, one-half of the Earth receives more sunlight than the other half. When the North Pole is facing the sun, the Northern Hemisphere receives more sun. This is summer in the north and winter in the south. When the South Pole faces the sun, the opposite is true. In order to demonstrate this, set up a sphere (baseballs, basketballs or globes) on a track around a strong light source, such as a light bulb. Make sure the sphere is tilted 23-degrees and then move the sphere around the bulb. The changing light patterns on the sphere will mimic the various seasons on Earth. A series of four spheres could also be set up around the light bulb, all tilted in the same direction, at 23-degrees. Each sphere would represent one season - summer, fall, winter, and spring - for each hemisphere.
