Where does the axis of the earth run?

The axis of the Earth runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, passing through the center of the planet. It is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees relative to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. This tilt is responsible for the changing seasons as the Earth revolves around the Sun.


How does the suns persittion change in the sky?

The Sun's position in the sky changes throughout the day due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth spins, the Sun appears to rise in the east, reach its highest point around noon, and then set in the west. Additionally, the Sun's path varies with the seasons due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, causing it to take a higher arc in summer and a lower arc in winter. This seasonal variation affects the length of daylight and the Sun's angle in the sky.


Why is the sun in the sky but not sometimes?

The sun always is in the sky. Sometimes you can not see it because it is concealed behind clouds. At night, you will not be able to see the sun from your location, because the earth has rotated away from the sun.


How does the tilted axis make seasons?

As the Earth travels in its yearly orbit around the sun, in some seasons the axial tilt will cause the northern hemisphere to be tilted toward the sun while the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, and in other seasons it is the opposite. Whichever hemisphere tilts toward the sun gets more sunlight and is therefore warmer.

Does the sun have an axis?

Anything that rotates has an imaginary line that it appears to rotate around, and that's what's called the "axis". Since the sun definitely rotates, there's an imaginary line through it that it seems to rotate around, and it's completely proper to refer to that imaginary line as the sun's axis.

How can seasons be explained in terms of motion?

The axis of the earth is tilted in the plane of its orbit. As the earth orbits the sun, the axis is tilted toward the sun and away from the sun and this creates the seasons.


Does the earth rotate or revolve on its axis?

Why is the sun higher in the sky in the the summer and lower in the winter?

why the sun is higher in summer is because the earths top of the axis is pointed to the sun which makes this hotter and in winter the axis is pointed away from the sun which makes it colder
