Parallelism of Axis
The earth is constantly rotating as it revolves about the sun. It rotates on an imaginary axis. The earth's axis always points in one direction. Thus as the earth revolves about the sun, the position of the axis at any one time is always parallel to the position it occupied at any previous time. This phenomenon is called parallelism of axis.
It always points to the pole star.
What else can I help you with?
Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
What does the earths axis always point towards?
the axis is a imaginary line that cuts trough the earth it points southwest and northeast
How are the seasons caused by parallelism?
The axis always remains parallel to the previous position as Earth revolves around the sun; the axis always points in the same direction. Since this is true, you cans see that during its revolution, the direct sunlight hits at different points of the Earth. If the axis pointed in random directions all the time, direct sunlight wouldn't hit in the same spot at the same time every year, thus there would be no seasons. This would also mean that if at some point the axis was pointed directly at the sun, the North Pole would be receiving extreme amounts of heat, and the ice would melt. At the same time, the South Pole would be receiving very little direct sunlight, creating severely cold temperatures.
What are the two factors that cause the earth's seasons?
rotation of earth -earth is at a tilt so sometimes some parts get more sun then others rotation around the sun -earth will be at different distances from the sun as it rotates around
What are earths four motions?
Earth has four main motions: rotation, which causes day and night; revolution, which causes the annual seasons; precession, which causes a slow wobble in its axis; and nutation, which causes a slight variation in the tilt of its axis.
Which best describes the parallelism of the earths axis?
The axis is always aimed toward a point in the sky near Polaris :))
The phenomena of parallelism of axis is what?
I honk that has to do with the nazis
What does Earths magnetic axis do not do with its rotational axis?
intersect
Two reasons for seasons?
1. Tilt of earths axis 2. Earths axis remains parallel throughout its yearly orbit.
How long is the earths axis?
