Question

As Earth spins on its axis, producing night and day, it also moves about the Sun in an elliptical orbit that requires about 365 1/4 days to complete. The Earth's axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. When the earth's axis points towards the sun, it is __________ for that hemisphere.

A) day
B) night
C) summer
D) winter

Answer 1

I think it might be A.) Day. Because when the axis is pointed towards the sun, that shows it is day because that area has sunlight in which you get during the day. It is night when the axis is pointed away from the sun because there is no sunlight in that area which causes darkness in which we get during the night obviously. Winter occurs when the earth is far away from the sun, in which there is no heat, and closest to the sun in which we do get heat, there will be Summer.
Hope this helps some.

Answer 2

The answer is A. Day
