Question

Which of the following statements correctly explains why we experience seasons?

(13 Points)
A. As the Earth moves away from the Sun, we change from summer to fall to winter. As the Earth moves closer to the Sun, we change from winter to spring to summer.
B. As the Earth spins on its axis, we experience seasons. Each 1/4 spin of the Earth on its axis represents a change in season.
C. Earth's tilt on its axis means one hemisphere leans toward the Sun, causing it to experience warmer temperatures. As Earth revolves around the Sun, a different hemisphere leans toward the Sun, causes warmer temperatures in that hemisphere.
D. The Moon moving in front of the Sun causes temperatures on Earth to drop, which causes winter. When it moves behind the Sun, a rise in temperature causes summer.

Answer 1

Answer: I believe C is your best answer

Explanation: The earth revolves around the sun in an elongated circle. Every year is one full “circle.” Due to the earth also having a tilt on its axis, one “side” of the earth is usually closer to the sun. So In the first quarter of the earth’s travel around the sun, it’ll be winter, then the next quarter, spring, followed by Summer halfway through and then Autumn/fall. Such can be compared to how the seasons each usually fill in about a quarter of your calendar. That was explained a bit confusing but I hope I helped, good luck!
