Question

What causes the apparent movement of the sun north and south of true east through the year?

A. the movement of the sun through the constellations

B. the tilt of earths axis

C. earths rotation eastward

D. earths elliptical orbit

Answer 1

The apparent movement of the Sun north and south of true east through the year is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis, which leads to changing seasons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The apparent movement of the Sun north and south of true east through the year is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis.

As Earth orbits the Sun, its axis remains tilted at an angle of about 23.5 degrees relative to the plane of its orbit. This tilt causes different parts of Earth to receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to the changing seasons.

When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it experiences summer, while the Southern Hemisphere experiences winter. As the Earth continues its orbit, the tilt causes the seasons to reverse in the two hemispheres.

Answer 2

B. the tilt of earths axis

Step-by-step explanation:

The orientation of the tilt of earths axis through the year is (almost) the same relative to the stars far away. As the Earth is tilted, the Equator in the side of the sun is over the orbital plane in one side of the orbit and under the orbital plane in the other side.

As the earth travel from one point of the orbit to the other, every day the sun appears to move through the sky at different altitude.
