What is happening on the Earth during a solitice?
The earths rotational axis is tipped 23.5 degrees from vertical The earths rotational axis remains parallel throughout its orbit of the sun, so at one point in the yearly orbit the top half of the axis is at maximum tilt away from the sun, this is the winter solstice / shortest day (northern hemisphere) and summer solstice / longest day (southern hemisphere) Half a year later the positions are reversed as the axis remains parallel leaving the top of the axis tilting in.
What is the degree of the earths tilt and what is it pointing towards?
The Earth is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees. This tilt is responsible for the changing seasons as different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. The tilt of the Earth's axis is always pointing in the same direction in space, towards the North Star, Polaris.
Why does the sameside of the moon always face earth?
This is due to a phenomenon called synchronous rotation, where the moon rotates on its axis at the same rate it orbits the Earth. This causes one side of the moon to always face towards the Earth.
Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
How are the poles of earth fixed?
The poles of Earth are fixed due to the planet's axial tilt and rotation. The North Pole points towards the North Star, Polaris, creating a stable reference point. This axial alignment allows Earth to maintain its axis orientation despite movements in its orbit.
What does earths axis always point towards?
the axis is a imaginary line that cuts trough the earth it points southwest and northeast
Which best describes the parallelism of the earths axis?
The axis is always aimed toward a point in the sky near Polaris :))
How do dogs align themselves with the earths axis and which way do they usually point?
dogs usually align themselves with the north/south axis and how this is dogs have sensitive chemicals which allows them to sense the earths axis
Numbers to the right of the point of origin on the x-axis are always negative?
Numbers to the right of the point of origin on the x-axis are always negative.
What force is always acting on the vertical axis?
Gravity is always acting on the vertical axis, pulling objects downward towards the Earth's center.
Why are the seasons reversed in the northern and southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis is tilted.
What does the earths axis point directly to in outer space?
Hi it points to da Sun. da
What two things cause the seasons to change on earth?
There are two things that cause it which are the earths orbit and thetilt of the earths axis.
What is the significants about the earths axis?
The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees. This is what creates the earths seasons. The two hemispheres (north and south) are always on opposite seasons.
What two things causes the earths four seasons?
The Earth rotates on its axis causing either the North or South Hemishere to tilt towards the sun which ever hemishere is tilted toward the sun it is probably spring or summer.
Is the x coordinate of a point on the y axis always zero never zero or sometimes zero?
The y-axis has the equation x=0, so every point on the y-axis has an x coordinate of zero.
During summer which way is the earths axis tilted?
depends on which hemisphere you live if on top it is towards the sun
