Question

Carl is making a model to demonstrate the reason Earth has seasons. He has a round lamp to represent the Sun. He drew the continents on a table tennis ball to represent Earth.

• What are two ways Earth needs to move in Carl’s model?

• How can Carl demonstrate Earth’s position relative to the Sun when it is summer in Australia?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth i.e. tennis ball needs to move in circle around the Sun i.e. lamp. that gives seasons on earth. it also needs to rotate on its axis that is not perpendicular to its circle track around the Sun. that gives day and nite.

Aus in summer means tennis ball marked as Aus facing Sun with the ball's axis at an angle so that the area is closer to the Sun.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth needs to rotate by itself to represent its self rotation which gives us day and night. It also needs to rotate around to sun to give seasons.

Rotate ball so area marked Australia is closest to the round lamp.
