MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Choose how each set of words are related: year, revolution.

Earth's revolution around the Sun determines the length of a year

A year is the time it takes for the Moon to revolve around Earth

Revolution refers to Earth's daily spin, which creates a year

A year and a revolution are unrelated astronomical concepts

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Choose how each set of words are related: season, equinox, solstice

Seasons occur because of Earth's revolution while equinoxes and solstices mark specific points in Earth's orbit

Equinoxes and solstices are specific days that mark the beginning of each season due to Earth's tilt

Seasons are caused by Earth's rotation while equinoxes and solstices are caused by Earth's revolution

Equinoxes, solstices, and seasons are all determined by the Moon's position relative to Earth

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

The tilt of Earth's axis affects how the sun's rays strike Earth by:

Creating a complete shift in which hemisphere receives sunlight during different seasons

Changing Earth's distance from the Sun, making rays stronger in summer and weaker in winter

Causing the sun's rays to hit different parts of Earth at different angles throughout the year

Altering the rotation speed of Earth, which changes how long areas are exposed to sunlight

The tilt of Earth's axis influences the length of daylight and the temperature of a location on Earth by:

Changing Earth's overall distance from the Sun throughout the year, making all locations warmer or cooler simultaneously

Causing one hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight for longer periods during its summer while the opposite hemisphere receives less direct sunlight for shorter periods

Altering Earth's rotation speed, which determines how quickly day transitions to night in different locations

Creating gravitational variations that pull more heat toward certain regions depending on the season
