Question

On the first day of fall in the northern hemisphere, Earth's rotational axis is _____. A. leaning toward the Sun B. leaning away from the Sun C. neither leaning toward nor away from the Sun

Answer 1

Tilted a full 23.5degree towards the sun.

Answer 2

On the 1st day of "fall" in the "northern hemisphere", 'Earth's rotational axis is neither leaning toward nor away from the Sun'.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The 1st day of fall in the "northern hemisphere" is apparently the day of Autumn equinox.

• On this day, the rotational axis of Earth is neither "tilted towards the Sun" nor "away from the Sun".

• This is because the rotational axis, in the first place, isn't in line with the Sun. Rather, it is "oriented" in such a way that the Earth's equator has the Sun right above it.
