What causes Earth's seasons?

• Earth's seasons are caused by the tilt of its axis as it revolves around the Sun.

• The tilt of Earth's axis as it revolves around the Sun

• The rotation of Earth on its axis

• The gravitational pull of the Moon

What is a spring tide?

• A spring tide occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned, creating the greatest difference between high and low tides.

• A spring tide occurs when the Moon is at its farthest point from the Earth, resulting in minimal tidal changes.

• A spring tide happens during the new moon phase, causing unusually low tides.

• A spring tide is a seasonal tide that occurs only in the summer months.

What is Earth's revolution?

• Earth's revolution is its orbit around the Sun, which takes about 365 days.

• Earth's revolution is the process of the Earth spinning on its axis every 24 hours.

• Earth's revolution refers to the changing seasons throughout the year.

• Earth's revolution is the movement of the Moon around the Earth.

What is the full moon phase?

• The full moon phase occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun, and its entire lighted side faces Earth.

• The full moon phase occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light.

• The full moon phase occurs when the Moon is in the same direction as the Sun, making it invisible from Earth.

• The full moon phase occurs when the Moon is in a crescent shape, partially illuminated.

How does gravity affect tides?

• Gravity from the Moon and Sun pulls on Earth's oceans, causing tides.

• Tides are caused by the rotation of the Earth alone.

• Gravity has no effect on tides; they are solely influenced by wind.

• Tides are caused by the Earth's distance from the Sun.

What are moon phases?

• Moon phases are the changing appearances of the Moon as seen from Earth.

• The changing appearances of the Moon as seen from Earth.

• The distance between the Earth and the Moon.

• The various sizes of the Moon throughout the year.

What is a lunar eclipse?

• A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting Earth's shadow on the Moon.

• A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking sunlight.

• A lunar eclipse is when the Earth rotates on its axis, causing the Moon to appear red.

• A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon is in its new phase, making it invisible from Earth.

What is a neap tide?

• A neap tide occurs when the Sun and Moon pull at right angles to each other, creating the least difference between high and low tides.

• A neap tide occurs when the Sun and Moon align, resulting in the highest difference between high and low tides.

• A neap tide occurs during a full moon when the gravitational pull is strongest.

• A neap tide occurs when the Earth is closest to the Sun, causing extreme tidal variations.

What is a solar eclipse?

• A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth.

• A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth.

• A solar eclipse is when the Sun is completely obscured by clouds during the day.

• A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is at its full phase, reflecting sunlight.

What is the new moon phase?

• The new moon phase occurs when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun, and its lighted side faces away from Earth.

• The new moon phase occurs when the Moon is fully illuminated by the Sun.

• The new moon phase occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.

• The new moon phase occurs when the Moon is in its first quarter.
