How earths distance from the sun change throughout the year?

how does earths distance from the sun change throughout the year


Two reasons for seasons?

1. Tilt of earths axis 2. Earths axis remains parallel throughout its yearly orbit.


Why isn't the change in earths distance from the sun enough to cause thr seasons?

its to far away


What is the difference between seasons and day and night?

the seasons are caused from earths revolution(1 circle around the sun) while day and night occur from earths rotation (earth spinning on its axis)


Why does the distance form the earth to sun determine the seasons?

because the earths axis is tilted because im amazing..........balls


If earths tilt didn't change would earth have seasons?

There would be no seasons on Earth if the Earth's axis had no tilt because throughout the year the Earth would get an equal amount of sun everywhere.


What if the earths orbit aroud the sun was circular and not elliptical?

Not much would change. Note that the seasons are NOT related to changes in the distance from the Sun.


Why is the earths seasons changed?

The seasons change NOT because the Earth rotates, but because of our revelution around the sun. It is summer when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. the seasons have nothing to do with the distance to the sun. the Eath is closest to the sun in winter.


What if the earths axis of rotation were tilted at a different angle. also what would the seasons be like if earths axis was a 0 degrees and b 45 degrees?

Earth's axis has a tilt of 23.5 degrees; this is what causes seasons. 0 degrees: practically no seasons (there would be minor changes due to a varying distance from the Sun). 45 degrees: seasons would be much more pronounced.


Does the suns revolutions cause the seasons?

no. the earths orbit cause the seasons


Does the sun's revolutions cause the seasons.?

no. the earths orbit cause the seasons


How might Earths climates be different if Earth were not titled on its axis?

There would be no seasons. The weather in any given area would be essentially the same throughout the year.
