Answer 1

Answer:

please mark me as brainliest

Explanation:

1.It radiates light and heat, or solar energy, which makes it possible for life to exist on Earth.

2.The movement of the earth on its axis is called rotation whike the movement of earth around the sun is called revolution

3.The axis tilt doesn't actually change, but its orientation relative to the Sun changes as Earth moves in orbital revolution around the Sun. This motion, combined with the axis tilt, is responsible for our seasons.

4.Summer solctices

The day that the Earth's North Pole is tilted closest to the sun is called the summer solstice.

Winter solstice

The winter solstice, also called the hiemal solstice or hibernal solstice, occurs when either of Earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun. This happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere

5.In the Northern Hemisphere, the March equinox is called the vernal or spring equinox

while the September equinox is called the autumnal or fall equinox.

6.If the earth weren't tilted, it would rotate like that as it revolved around the sun, and we wouldn't have seasons—only areas that were colder (near the poles) and warmer (near the Equator). But the earth is tilted, and that's why the seasons happen.
