What are the reasons for the seasons?

Earth's rotation and revolution.

How does the tilt of Earth's axis affect the seasons?

It causes different parts of Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.

It causes the Sun to be closer to Earth in summer.

It has no effect on the seasons.

It causes the Earth to rotate faster.

What is the primary reason for the occurrence of different seasons on Earth?

The tilt of Earth's axis relative to its orbit around the Sun.

The distance of Earth from the Sun changes.

The speed of Earth's rotation changes.

The shape of Earth's orbit changes.

What happens to the angle of sunlight when Earth is tilted towards the Sun?

The angle becomes more direct, increasing temperature.

The angle becomes less direct, decreasing temperature.

The angle causes the Sun to appear larger.

Which experiment can demonstrate the effect of Earth's tilt on seasons?

Using a globe and a lamp to simulate sunlight.

Greater tilt results in milder seasons.

Axial tilt has no influence on season intensity.

Axial tilt only affects the equator.

What role does Earth's revolution around the Sun play in the changing seasons?

It causes different hemispheres to be tilted towards or away from the Sun at different times.

It affects the gravitational pull on Earth.

Why do regions near the equator experience less variation in seasons?

They receive consistent sunlight throughout the year.

They are always tilted towards the Sun.

They have a different axial tilt.

What is the relationship between Earth's axial tilt and the solstices?

Solstices occur when Earth's axis is tilted directly towards or away from the Sun.

Solstices occur when Earth's axis is tilted neither towards nor away from the Sun.

Solstices occur when Earth's orbit is closest to the Sun.
