What is the relationship between the Earth's orbit and the seasons?

• The Earth's orbit around the sun, combined with its axial tilt, creates the seasons.

• The Earth's orbit is circular, which has no effect on the seasons.

• The seasons are caused by the distance of the Earth from the sun during its orbit.

• The Earth's orbit is irrelevant to the changing seasons.

What causes the change of seasons on Earth?

• The tilt of Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun.

• The distance of Earth from the moon.

• The rotation of Earth on its axis.

• The amount of sunlight received by the poles.

What would happen to seasons if Earth's axis were straight up and down?

• There would be no seasons.

• Daylight hours are longest in fall and shortest in spring.

• Daylight hours decrease in spring and summer, and increase in fall and winter.

How does the tilt of the Earth affect temperature during different seasons?

• It causes varying angles of sunlight, affecting temperature and climate.

• It leads to constant temperatures throughout the year.

• It has no effect on temperature or climate.

• It only affects the amount of rainfall in different seasons.
