winter occurs because less heat is radiated of the sun towards the earth so then the earth gets colder

What is the main reason that the gravitational attraction between Earth and the Moon changes each day?

The gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Moon changes each day because the distance between the Earth and the Moon changes each day. This is because the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is not purely circular - it is elliptical - with an apogee of about 406,000 kilometers, and a perigee of about 363,000 kilometers. Gravitational attraction between two objects is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.


What is the distance between earth and heaven?

In terms of physical measurement, the distance between Earth and heaven is not known as heaven is considered a spiritual or metaphysical realm, not a physical location in space. Different belief systems and cultures have their own interpretations of where or what heaven is.


How close is the sun to Earth in terms of distance?

The average distance between the sun and Earth is about 93 million miles.


A change in earths total insolation would becaused by?

Changes in Earth's total insolation can be caused by variations in the distance between Earth and the Sun due to the Earth's elliptical orbit (Milankovitch cycles), changes in the Earth's axial tilt, and variations in the transparency of the atmosphere due to factors like greenhouse gas concentrations and volcanic activity.


By how much does the earth-sun distance change?

The Earth-Sun distance varies due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit, with a difference of about 5 million kilometers between the closest point (perihelion) and the farthest point (aphelion). This distance changes throughout the year as the Earth orbits the Sun.

Not really, the change in distance produces a small effect compared to the differences between summer and winter caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis.


How long is the distance between Mars and Earth?

the distance between earth and mars changes after every minute. Both the planets travel along elliptical orbit that are not synchronized so they are continuously altering distance between them.the average distance between them is 225 million km. the closest approach was in the year 2003 when the earth and mars were separated by a distance of 56 million km.

Are the changes in the distance between Earth and the sun important in causing the cycle of the seasons?

No because it is such a little distance it is not going to affect the climate, you would not even notice.


Is the distance of the moon from the earth the same as it complete the revolution?

The distance between Earth and Moon changes. Like any object going in an orbit around another object, the Moon moves around Earth in an ellipse, not in an exact circle.
