2)If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, during which months does autumn occur? 3)What is the difference between rotation and revolution?
4)Season’s are caused by Earth’s Which of these occurs during a solar eclipse? 5)During the month of May, in the Northern Hemisphere, the Where would you be on the surface of the earth is you were in complete darkness for twenty-four hours on December 21?
6)The gradual change in the length of your shadow over the course of the day is caused by_________.
7)Which of the following occurs when the Sun is directly above Earth’s equator?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day occurs on the_______.

Answer 1

1. angle of the sun’s rays to change during the year on Earth cuz' earth's axis of rotation around the sun is tilted

2. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, autumn occurs during March, April n May

3. in astronomy, rotation means the movement around an axis within a subject while revolution is used to describe one body moves around another.

4. Season’s are caused by Earth’s orbit and tilted axis.

during a solar eclipse, moon is directly between earth n sun; casting its shadow on earth

5. During the month of May, in the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun rises and sets farther northward each day

The North Pole is where you were in complete darkness for twenty-four hours on December 21

6. The gradual change in the length of your shadow over the course of the day is caused by the rotation of Earth on its axis .

7. when the Sun is directly above Earth’s equator, equinox occurs

In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day occurs on the summer solstice

Answer 2

1. the tilt of Earth's axis
2. March, April, and May
3. When an object turns around an internal axis (like the Earth turns around its axis) it is called a rotation. When an object circles an external axis (like the Earth circles the sun) it is called a revolution.
4. orbit and tilted axis and the tilt of the Earth on its axis changes the seasons.
5. The North Pole
6. The positioning of the sun
7. equinox
