Question

If point A is winter tilted away from the sun and follows the given order, what would be points B, C, and D?

A) B = Spring, C = Summer, D = Fall
B) B = Fall, C = Spring, D = Summer
C) B = Spring, C = Fall, D = Summer
D) B = Fall, C = Summer, D = Spring

Answer 1

The correct sequence of seasons after winter (point A), where Earth is tilted away from the Sun, is B = Spring, C = Summer, D = Fall. This follows the Earth's orbit and its axial tilt as it transitions through different seasons.

Step-by-step explanation:

If point A represents winter with Earth titled away from the Sun, then the points B, C, and D correspond to the other seasons in the Earth's orbit around the Sun. The correct sequence following winter (A) would be B = Spring, when the Earth's tilt is neutral, and day and night are approximately equal; C = Summer, when the Earth is tilted towards the Sun, leading to longer days and shorter nights; and D = Fall, which is another neutral position of Earth's tilt with respect to the sun, leading to roughly equal day and night lengths. Therefore, the correct answer is A) B = Spring, C = Summer, D = Fall.
