Question

When Earth’s elliptical orbit elongates during its 100,000-year cycle, Earth passes closer to the Sun and temperatures become warmer than normal.

Question 28 options:
True
False

Answer 1

That is false I know it it is false

Answer 2

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

• Owing to the changes in the gravitational forces applied by the celestial bodies, the Earth's orbit tends to change slightly and become a little more elliptical than usual every '100,000 years'.

• This change in the orbit causes the Earth to move closer to the Sun and as a result, the climate on Earth gets warmed up owing to the increased proximity to the Sun.

• Thus, this cycle exhibits substantial changes in the overall environment of the Earth every '100,000 years'.
